Oooh, I missed that one!

Do you have a link?

I will say it yet another time, these barbarians are usually not Floridians. We should have made "Yankee Go Home" our motto 50 years ago, and written it into law.
Sorry if I rocked Your boat, Sweetie, but I've been here watching things, and I know where the problems came from.

It must be those flying cockroaches.

AKA Palmetto bugs. Zillions of em. Resistant to people named Orkin too. Lovely creatures.

"Florida is different."

Nah, it sounds like Liberal heaven. Anything goes.

**It must be those flying cockroaches.**

If they are in your neighbor's house, they are cockroaches. If you have them in your house, they are Palmetto bugs.

How did a driver with a bus load of kids beats the Cops there?

[skinkinthegrass]

..just really weird.

There was a time when I seriously thought of joining the other old folks in Florida...

Me too. Came this close (thumb and forefinger 0.002 inches apart) but Arizona won.

I've lived in Florida for 9 years now,

Is your living will up-to-date? (Sorry, I couldn't help myself)

With the neighborHOOD kids jumping on her bus, she should have been charged with child endangerment for each child she had on the bus. But nah, this is Florida.

"I mean, you can always find one where no one else has teeth either..."

Dang!

Whole lotta' bad bus drivers 'round heah!

Jones became the second driver in a week to land behind bars. Donald Deverso, 58, remains in jail, accused by the federal government of accessing child pornography via computer.

A third driver, Israel Jackson, 28, was arrested in January on charges of selling crack cocaine to an informant.

Something in the water, or maybe left over radiation from 2000; the Gorino!

[I still care]

"Nah, it sounds like Liberal heaven. Anything goes."

Not really. We still have our guns.

Jones drove to that school and allegedly left about 30 middle school students on her bus, with the engine running, to join her 13-year-old daughter in a brawl at a school for children with behavioral problems.

I wonder where her daughter gets her behavioral problems.

[Samwise]

Hoosier mayhem!

Wat choo talkin 'bout, Willis?

[The Great Yazoo]

Sorry. No pix available.

No, I don't have a link but that dentist was discussed here on FR.
