Trying to sound intelligent

I have nothing witty to put here...clearly i am not doing a good job of sounding intelligent.

So, today i saw an old man on a moped. So i've decided that when i become old, i would like to drive a moped as well. I mean hell, old people drive slow anyway, might as well own a vehicle that can't go fast in the first place. Speaking of old people and driving, i've been working on a theory for a while about why old people shouldn't be allowed to drive. Okay, so why are you not allowed to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol? Well, simple enough, slower reaction time, reduced coordination and motor skills, possibly blurred vision and occasional memory lapses. Sounds like a good reason to not drive. However, what happens when you get old. Well, you can't react to things as fast b/c your body simple won't move that fast. Continuing on with the body not agreeing with the rest of you, you lose coordination and motor skills as well. I mean, when was the last time you watched an old person "get their groove on" and actual look good doing it? Blurred vision...how many old people do you know with 20/20 vision. And don't even get me started on memory lapses. So in theory...being old is like being drunk with out the benefits. So then why is it illegal to drive under the influence, but 80 year old grandpas on mopeds can drive no questions asked. Well, that's easy. B/c drunks don't lobby. Sad though it is, targeting old people would make a lot of politicians unemployed. So today was my mock trial for marijuana. I can't put anything up about it yet, but tomorrow i'll reveal my stupidity. Sometimes i still feel like in college. B/c i go to work, and i take tests, and i'm lectured to, and work "classwork" problems for 8 hours a day. the only difference is i actually sleep at night and can relax when i come home. Oh and the tests don't rip me a new asshole.

I don't remember the last time I spent 8 hours at school. Actually I do, it was high school.
But you're totally right about the tests.

That's only because you weren't a ChemE, allen.

Good theory, I like it. When I become president, that's what I'll all about... getting old people private drivers.
