Ill start it off.

Last Friday the boss took the whole company out to lunch (we all fit into is SUV). Over lunch I commented on the radar detector on his dash. Commute comparisons got into full swing. One person commented on how her traffic was "all going 80" (in a 70 zone) so she "had to" keep pace. Two of the others at the table just looked at me waiting for my response. I answered " I do 55-60 on the highway every day".

Shocked looks from the table. Is it safe they ask? I say I go the speed of the truckers and let the jerks speed past

several ask me if I draft. I do not, but let them know that 2-3 sec back from trucks still boosts my MPG by 3-5.

The boss comments that we will have our first OSHA reportable when the fast lady runs into my airplane without wings.
