The Slice This Woman’s Car Has No Need For Floor Mats
Just the other day, a young woman walked up to her car parked on Riverside and disdainfully snatched a parking ticket off the windshield.
Then she opened the door to the two-door import with Idaho plates and tossed the tan scolding inside.
While she had the door open, it was possible to see the car’s floor. It was covered with parking tickets.
At least she’s not a litterer.

More reminders that you don’t need to obtain a license to be a parent: Lois Batson was in an elevator at the airport when she pressed the button for her desired floor. A little girl also on the elevator started yelling. “Mommy, I wanted to poke the button and that lady did it!”
Batson had a hard time believing her ears when the kid’s mother responded. “Well, why didn’t you stick your tongue out at her?”
Another reader told about watching in amazement as a mom and dad at a family-style South Hill restaurant appeared to be oblivious as their little boy, who might have been 3, managed to climb up on the top of a booth and walk along next to the wall. While performing this highwire act, he handled all sorts of pictures and bric-a-brac.
Somehow he managed to avoid falling.
Bet the parents would’ve sued the restaurant if he had slipped and bonked his head on the table.
