This early spring is also leaving much to be desired.

As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Didn't you hear? There is an intergalactic shortage of dilithium crystals. I'm sorry, the "beaming up" system is busy right now, please try again later.

The Transporter has a crazy filter on it which is why no Castanutters can get beamed up!
My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?
Apparently "Robin Hood All Purpose" was the wrong answer!

Is that the "Less than Intelligent Life form" filter? Or is that the "Obnoxious Omnipotent Life form" filter?
I will leave it up to you to figure out the acronyms for those.

Traffic Lights.
That won't activate for a green until you are stopped at the line.
How is one supposed to maintain weight in motion ?
Scanning several blocks ahead to see traffic flow patterns at the next lights,
adjust speed to coincide with said patterns and on approach to what should be a green
light, and voila ! Since no one was sitting there waiting on the green, it does not appear,
but instead goes elsewhere, bringing rolling weight to a dead stop.
Not my idea of efficiency.

Magazines in auto repair shops waiting rooms.
They're either very specialized "Birds of the former Upper Volta" or they're so out-dated with articles like "Obama's First Year!"
