Oh Fred.
Lighten up.
Jeeze.

Clue for the Clueless: My post was a humorous commentary on how
frustrating it is to be trapped behind someone who I cant be obnoxious
to BECAUSE I RESPECT THEM. Furthermore, I may not be the toughest
hombre on the block, but I guarantee I'd put a WHUPPIN on any
septagenarian who attempted to slap the anything out of me. I mean, I'm
not trying to boast here or anything, but I go just a bit under six feet
tall and tip the scales at about a buck eighty five in fighting shape.
I've had a fair amount of martial arts training, and have probably had
more sparring matches than most people have had nutritious breakfasts!
I'll take on any Grandma you can come up with!
(Clue #2: I'm goofing on you..)
