Some time ago my father and I were driving to a near by restuarant when we were cut off and about wrecked by a Woman driving a rather large SUV as she was applying her makeup and talking on the cell phone. My fathers statement has stuck with me to this day. Why are there more Horses asses than there are Horses? How right he is.
