Darwin's theory at work ~ they eliminate themselves from the gene pool and 
clean up the species ~ unless they've already reproduced like unto their 
kind ?

Did just  that a couple weeks ago.
Had to take the Eldo thru emissions, and upon  leaving, the brake pedal
didn't feel right...like I blew a line. Sure  enough. Now what; I'm 20 miles
from home, all residential roads, what do I  do? The SENSIBLE thing would be
to pull over and call a rollback. But  nooooo; I had to be Mr. Impatient; I
can get this pig back home with the  emergency brake, provided the lights
are
in my favor, especially the one at  the bottom of a long hill en route (it
was).

No Problem, Harry - I've done stupider things. How about continued an
autocross run with the 140 throttle linkage stuck open, using the  ignition 
key
to "shut" the throttle? - Hey, it was a points event! I  still won the
class! We have probably all done stupider things. And if stupider  isn't a 
word,
it should be.

The folks who do REALLY stupider things? They aren't around to defend
themselves! <grin>
