That fits right in -- down here.... But, most may not know what iceberg lettuce is either. (Something that was served on the Titanic?? )

God could I rant. I called caltrans to find out why they had not re-painted the crosswalks this last spring. They said crosswalks cause accidents because pedestrians feel safe in them, they just walk out in front of cars.(California grants the right of way to any peds.) EXCUSE ME?!!!!!!!! I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that peaple NEVER drive the speed limit. The limit in the area in question is 30 mph. I usually drive about 50, and every one else STILL passes me when I go that fast. I bet if the folks in that area would pull thier craniums out of thier rectums, there would be a significant reduction in deer deaths...... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, sorry, but I feel better now
