A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Which part? The walking? The smoking? The dropping trash into Hades?

Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.

Ernie sez:
I'm not sure about this guy, but we DO remember that most TV Indians of the 50s and 60s were Jewish, right?

Turns out I'm wrong about this guy. From Wikipedia:
The real name of 'Iron Eyes Cody' is Oscar DeCorti. He was Italian (Sicilian) and had no Indian ancestry.

Pretty sure that's the reason for Mel Brooks' being the chief in Blazing Saddles and speaking as if he wasn't far from being right off the boat.

I couldn't remember what his ethnicity was, but I did know it wasn't Native American.

Funny you mentioned Brooks. I almost referenced him in the thread on another name for technicians in this industry. I thought about posting a YouTube clip of Piss Boy

More seriously, I cannot believe that people still litter today. It's crazy to drive behind a vehicle and see them throw something out. The world is full of lazy POS's....

And most of the litter is thrown in the bar ditch in front of my house.

I really really cant stand it. I don't look at peoples shoes/clothes/car/watch etc to determine what kind of person they are. I pay attention to how they behave. How they treat wait staff or talk to women. Someone littering in front of me is basically the end of the conversation. I don't need to learn anymore.

I will never forget sitting down at a restaurant and watching a new installer open his straw, roll up the paper and drop it on the table...then he wiped it right off onto the floor. 40 year old guy. The littering wasn't even a conscious action...it was like he was so used to it that he was on autopilot when he did it.

Another common thing i see is the jerks who collect soda bottles in their car and then they have their passenger just kick them all out in the parking lot. I have seen this a dozen times or more. There is a trash can at every gas pump in the world where you can throw away as many bottles as you want. You can even do it while your tank is filling up instead of standing there watching gas pump tv.

I know. I always take the time to make sure there's no one behind me.
