Used Bike Purchasing for the Vacationing American?

Forgive my ignorance but how does one go bankrupt when they posess the
world's largest nuclear arsenal?

 

Not being able to afford the fuel to lift it off the ground?

 

The former Soviet Union seems to be making a fine fist of disproving that
theory.

 

Dunno, but I suspect it's correct. The pronoun stuff is coincidental,
IMO.

 

Mucho snip

Another thought - work out how much you are prepared to pay for the
insurance and the loss on the bike and then offer that to someone to
'borrow' a bike for the duration. You could be a named driver on their
insurance - might solve some hassle.

Party of the first part is "YOU". Party of the second part is the
company you are purchacing the insurance from. The party of the third
part, is the poor sod you hit.

Pay attention... we're already in Iraq. You don't have to pay for shit
when you can just hold up Habib's convenience station.

 

I'm telling George you said that.

 

I realised, after I posted it, that I'd missed a great chance for quoting an
inspired monologue, so here it is (iprizes to those who manage to name the
source) ...

"This is my escape tunnel and this is a dress I made. This is a bar of soap
carved to look like a gun, whereas this is plastic explosive moulded to look
like a bar of soap. My plan is to blow up the cell using the plastic
explosives. When the guards come to investigate they think I'm just some
woman and fall in love with me. Then I whip out the soap gun and use it to
force them into the escape tunnel and we refuse to tell anybody where
they've gone until they promise to let us go!"

"Erm, couldn't we just use the tunnel ourselves?"

"It's a crazy plan, but it might just work ... what the heck, let's give it
the old college try".

The quoting is extremely approximate, as I haven't had a copy of the
original for quite some years.

Yes, and that's working out so well, isn't it?

 

He doesn't have rocket fuel.
Hell, he can't even get any gas or oil since his cousin Akhmed keeps
blowing up the pipeline.

 

It must be Monty Python. (Every quote a Brit uses comes from MP,
doesn't it?)

'Fraid not.

Some of the Brits might also have spotted it wasn't actually a monologue
either, but once I'd typed out the bulk of it I realised that I need another
person's quote in to link it to the "crazy plan" bit.

"Top Secret" ?

 

No, it's not from a film or TV-series.

Nobody cares how well it's going. We have unlimited resources at our
disposal in comparison to EC forces. The ones that are dying are the
ones who signed up for it. Tough titties this solidering business eh?
We also have hamburgers. In fact I'm getting hungry just thinking
about them!

I laff at the estimations of this being America's next Vietnam. The
Arabs better hope it doesn't become Vietnam. IIRC we killed off about
about a coupla million of them Commies.

Gas is still only $2.30 for 3.75 litres. Just spooned on a set of
Diablos for $235USD. Yourself? Ah yes... still on the pound. And
pricing things like it was a wimpy USD! All hail the Queen! Can I be
your tampon?

If all else fails we can nuke the entire middle east and bring in them
starving Africans to pump the oil out for a cut of the proceeds.
That's the problem with you Euros... always underestimating the
depravity of the American people. Don't make me come over there and
bitchslap those government dentures out of your mouth.

Anyways we fixed you Europeans and your petty tribal conflicts, put
you under our NATO umbrella, gave you a semblance of an economy and
now that you have two hairs on your ass you wanna call it a forest?

Relax, it's all under control. America's sky has been falling for over
50+years and much to everybody's chagrin we keep propping it up like a
two-bit dictator. Just don't forget keep buying those Treasury bills
or we get funny ideas about the EC next!

 

Now THAT was worth the time it took to read it!

Which, presumably, was significantly longer for you on that side of the
pond.

Which doesn't worry us, because we get 2 - 2.5 times as much paid holiday
per annum as you lot, so we can pay off our "oppressive VAT burden" while
lounging around.
