Drivers that sit in the outside lane when the inside lane is clear, particularly when they are driving at 15MPH slower than the limit.

They then normally get annoyed when you go past them on the inside - Flashing their lights

Like the BA***RD in the Range Rover who was in lane 3 at 69mph, with 3 lanes open. Didn't get hint till the 5th vehicle - me, went past, gave him the finger and then a thumb to left. COMPLETE RICHARD CRANIUM.

Don't forget Humvee (civilian) drivers who maneuver in traffic like they are taking enemy fire and the rest of us are part of the terrain!

But you live in the Wild West.  Everyone in the UK knows that in the US you have to doge the arrows from the pesky Injuns, and the only towns that are safe are those with a good Sherrif

...and the villains wear black hats, are scruffy and unshaven while the goodies use DAZ washing powder, are clean shaven and wear white everything!

I've just remembered an old Wild West joke:

Line of Indians standing on a hill overlooking a wagon circle. Chief looks along the line and looks to the sky in supplication as he says all his warriors are carrying some kind of injury from bruises to broken bits. 'Right!' he hollers. 'We are going to attack the palefaces again, only this time we will all circle the wagons in the same direction!'

Don't worry I remember where I left me coat.

I remember many, many, many years ago, a cartoon from a distinguished gentleman's' magazine. It showed the Lone Ranger preparing his bacon and beans over a fire, whilst a nervous Tonto looks at the smoke and says "that's a pity. You just called Cochise a c**t."



Why calling him a coat is so bad, I don't know.
