The builder was probably bragging about his low cost lightweight steel he used in the construction, when he got the contract.

He probably used AI in the architectural process.

I wonder if her guardian angel is available for hire?

Suddenly Suzan realized that she indeed doesn't have every right to walk down the street with the flow of traffic.

Obviously this was before Obama.

I loved those planes. They should be made once again.

They never stopped making them: https://a.co/d/4yMjYVf

$16.94 for a couple of thin pieces of balsa wood?

I liked the ones with the rubber band propellers though, the throw gliders weren't that good.
I remember how fragile and just how short-lived the fun lasted with those. Sort of like the cap guns, it's seemed like the firing mechanism broke before we ran out cap rolls. Then we would have to sit around with a hammer hitting each dot, learning what it's like to smash your finger.

There was a "delta wing" styrofoam model which flew very well and never broke. Those must have been even cheaper to make.

Making paper planes was fun as well.

$3.38 per plane. How much did it cost when you
played with it back in the day?

The image above says ten cents. So even with inflation they should not be more than 82 cents now:

Only rarely is this spot by Capitola city ever lit up for surfing, but today it is the sweet spot of choice.

I recommend you avoid Orgasm Creek.

A rookie police officer pulled a biker over for speeding and had the following exchange:

• Officer: May I see your driver's license?

• Biker: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.

• Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?

• Biker: It's not my bike. I stole it.

• Officer: The motorcycle is stolen?

• Biker: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the tool bag when I was putting my gun in there.

• Officer: There's a gun in the tool bag?

• Biker: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the dude who owns this bike and stuffed his dope in the saddle bags.

• Officer: There's drugs in the saddle bags too?!?!?

• Biker: Yes, sir. Hearing this, the rookie immediately called his captain.

The biker was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the biker to handle the tense situation:

• Captain: Sir, can I see your license?

• Biker: Sure. Here it is. It was valid.

• Captain: Who's motorcycle is this?

• Biker: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration.

• Captain: Could you slowly open your tool bag so I can see if there's a gun in it?

• Biker: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. Sure enough, there was nothing in the tool bag.

• Captain: Would you mind opening your saddle bags? I was told you said there's drugs in them.

• Biker: No problem. The saddle bags were opened; no drugs.

• Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole this motorcycle, had a gun in the tool bag, and that there were drugs in the saddle bags.

• Biker: Yeah, I'll bet he told you I was speeding, too.
