    Eh, it happens. I ran out of gas one time in college when I was broke and could only put like $5-$10 in the tank at a time. Or who's car hasn't broken down at some point? It happens to the best of us, but the problem is that she stopped in the middle of the road. If the motor dies, coast onto the shoulder and get out of the way so you don't cause an accident. Some people are just clueless.

    That’s different. You knew you were about to run out of gas, but were a poor kid. I’ve been there, but never had it die...just rode the fumes.

    This woman just wasn’t paying attention, because cars run on Instagram likes.

    Because of the gas, or the heat?

    It was like 1 in the morning in late November.
    So it had to have been the gas, seeing my needle drop like a altimeter on a plane as its plummeting out of the sky.

    OK, but we should still proceed with the experiments, tests, and eventual dissection.

    Hunches are no substitute for science.

    Very slippery slope. But I think there should be some kind of regulation on reproducing.

    The hardest part is figuring out what that regulation would be without imposing on people's basic human rights. If that line gets crossed then all hell would break loose.

    The act of reproducing, without actually reproducing, can be fun ON slippery slopes. Wear a helmet, though.

    Given the ability of your average licensed driver to actually drive, I'm not sure a license to reproduce would mean all that much.

    Nah, this was in Cali. He’ll just grimace over his chai latte and tap a surprised emoji on her insta post.
