Just from memory:

"No one can go the SAME speed you are going."
You are on the highway tooling along and someone passes you
"Did you see that idiot Martha ? Where's the fire?, He's driving like a madman!"
Next few min. you have to pass someone because they are going a slower speed
than you are:
"Did you see that idiot Martha? He's going so slow a turtle could outrun him!, What a
moron!"
It doesn't matter what speed you are doing no one can be faster or slower without being an idiot,madman and/or moran......

It's a good thing George never drove around with my husband, they both think the same way!!
