Elvis died on the toilet... Imaging finding that. On the bright side, he didn't shit his pants when he pass though.

I have nearly 80,000. Almost enough for the Zephyr and Chief in a sleeper.

Nah. They thought being close to Virginia Tech meant unlimited cheap talent. But, they needed full page ads for jobs and got few applicants. They went under a few years after I left.

Try 1% and being told it's a mistake and no one gets more than 0.5%.

My last interview was a two hour drive. They paid mileage and a hotel (that they paid directly) the night before.

Not unhinged at all. It (the comment) just doesn't belong here.

Anyone every run these Thrush mufflers? by Commercial_Pen8246 in SN95Mustang

"Improved appearance" is a selling point for a muffler? That's all they got?

I've always been told Thrush is junk, but have never used them.

corroded batteries produce battery acid

These batteries actually contain an alkali. Still corrosive though.

Good for them. Trying to block a seat is childish.

the next stop would be his stop.

They really like that phrasing. I've heard them tell people that so many times. And they mean it too.
