Well, my guess is he would not drive 20 miles below the speed limit, Swerving in and out of the fucking lane with a cell phone in his EAR!  
Well, asshole when you swerved and came close to bumping that car load of kids in a ditch, you should have taken that as a sign.  
But, NO! you had give that middle finger salute to the frazzled woman who honks only because you wanted her fricking part of the ROAD!  
Then for the ultimate Piss off you continue to talk on your phone weaving another 2 miles down the road.  
On top of this you stinking scrod for brains you talk with your hands while on the cellphone. Fricking dumbass tear up your license, take the bus, and reflect on your bumper sticker and ask yourself WWJD.

Wow! This rant is a lot better than mine! Maybe he was talking to Jesus and Jesus told him to do that? Yeah, you’re right, probably not.

WWJD- maybe it stands for Why Would Jesus Drive? God knows he wouldn’t if he knew THIS joker was on the road.

Hope you feel better now that you ranted.

“What Would Jesus Do? He wouldn’t pay $15 for a damn WWJD sticker, that’s for sure.”

I forget who said it, but I still think it’s funny.

Nice rant. Not too much use of the “F” word, none of the new (but already overused)sex act stupidities, etc. I’d give it a 9.2. 😃

Do people drive better with the little ear phone type of cell phones, or is it just more difficult to see the phone and realize that is why the person is driving erratically?

I had a cell phone for a while, and used it while waiting for trains to pass or at really long red lights. Driving makes me nervous enough without trying to concentrate on a phone conversation.

WWJD?

Well in this case, I reckon he’d probably conclude that the path of goodness and decency would be to lean out the window and speed slap the nosebleed with a large plywood hand on a stick.

Have you ever noticed that the worst, brain damaged, inconsiderate and outright rude drivers always have some type of fundalmentalist religion sticker? WWJD : Wholly Wacko Jackass Driver

But whaddahell does WWJD stand for?

Excellent and well spoken comments on one of my pet piss-offs.

A painful and fulminating dose of oral gonorhea upon all motor-mouth motorests (and upon some that are not driving, as well).

Thanks. I don’t think I’ll ever get all these acronyms down pat. I only joined the eledtronic age a little over a year ago. Hell, I’m still struggling with the concept of programing the memory and speed-dialing the freakin’ telephone.

Again, thanks.

Can I get a hallelujah?

I hate those fucking bracelets, stickers, t-shirts, whatever. Wearing one does not make you holy. And I bet half the people wearing them are still jerking off every five minutes, cursing, fucking prostitutes and taking the Lord’s name in vain. Get off your piece of shit religious pedestal built upon nothing but lies, rumors, and rhetoric and suck a fucking dick, because I for one am not buying your mock God-loving, Lord-fearing bullshit. It’s fucking sad and unbearably pathetic when the churches have to resort to mass-merchanized bracelets and bumper stickers to ensure the long and painful reign of Christianity continues. _Look! My wrist is bare! Oppress me, oh grand and powerful master!_

If Jesus had any idea what people are doing in his name these days, he’d puke. _“I’m a catchphrase!? What the hell is this?”_

Fuck me in the ear with sandpaper, somebody, please. I’m going to hell.

Reminds me of the computer ad I saw in the want ads last week; ‘fully buzzword compliant’. I like that one.

Whenever I’m faced with a tough decision, and just don’t know which way to turn, I think to myself, What Would Elvis Do?

In all likelihood, he would take a few dozen pills, eat a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, and buy someone a Cadillac.

Then I think that anything I do is not going to be nearly that stupid, and I don’t feel so bad.

That reminds me of one of my favorite sketches from The Late Show with Conan O’Brien I saw a while ago;

“What Would Conan Do?”

I don’t remember exactly how it went, because I only saw some of it, a long time ago, but it was hilarious.
