Montreal's Unofficial Curfew (and/or Quarantine)
I found out this week that the City of Montreal, in partnership with the Province of Quebec (aka: La Nation Quebecoise) has imposed a curfew to all it's citizens.
This curfew was not announced in the media, nor is it enforced by the police. It is imposed and enforced by the government's army of construction workers who after 2300 hours close every single highway in and out of the city.
Let me make this crystal clear: EVERY LANE OF EVERY SINGLE HIGHWAY IS CLOSED, NO ALTERNATE ROUTES ARE SETUP.
Is this part of their Kyoto Protocal Implementation Plan? WTF?
Here's the route I had to take to go from Chamby to Laval last wednesday night:

Convicted 1st degree murderer escapse from minimal security prison
(Read the article)
Notice anything "off" about the article? If you didn't, maybe you shoudl work for the corrections department too...
Hell, you don't even have to read the article, the following words should never be in the same sentence, NEVER!
"1st degree murderer" + "minimal security prison"
PS: Does this mean that if I don't pay my parking tickets I go to the same prison as a convicted 1st degree murderer?

Top 10 cont....
#4: COPS
You gotta love these gun slinging, testosterone emitting, brain omitting human specimens.
Isn't it funny how I see at least 5 poeple everyday burn a red light or a Stop sign 25 meters from the FREAKING COP STATION (that's almost 75 feet for you american readers)
THEY DON'T GET PULLED OVER! But I get one for crossing the street while driving back home from my kids' daycare!
Oh, and how many of you have seen something like this:

Dave's Top 10 Pissed Off Moments! Part 1
My loving and ever present god-father advised me to add to my blog my top 10 WTF moments... So, in no particular order:
1. Having an argument with a coffee shop cashier that 3$ + 3$ + 4.50$ + 4.50$ DOES NOT EQUAL 23$ EVEN AFTER YOU ADD 15% SALES TAX!
(This situation gave rise to my deep-rooted belief that poeple should be required to pass a 2nd grade math test before being allowed to quit school.)
see: some people are stupid
2. A police officer asking me what my name is when he's holding my Drivers License.... WHY? YOU CAN'T READ?
3. Getting screamed at by the driver of the car who almost killed me, while I'm lying on the pavement trying to get up! (JUST WAIT 'TIL I GET UP!!!)
... more to come tomorrow.

The not so rich! Are you kidding me?
Just read this article from business week: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_24/b4088081624555.htm?campaign_id=rss_daily
Some points discussed in the article are valid enough, but this paragraph is a joke:
"...Home is a four-bedroom house in the Philadelphia suburbs, and between them, they bring in over $300,000 a year...:
"But are they wealthy? That's far more debatable. Ever-rising prices for gas, health insurance, and other expenses are hitting hard, as are the $3,000-a-month mortgage and the $2,000 he still pays monthly to whittle down his $160,000 medical school debt. A six-year residency gave Hammer a delayed start saving for retirement, so he worries if he's stashing enough in his 401(k). By the time the couple contributes to the children's college fund, there's little extra at the end of the month."
Ahh! Poor guy, the gas prices are on the rise, now he can't drive his Hummer to work anymore... BOO HOO FOR YOU!

My Beard!!!
That's right, I was born of the male gender and I have a beard.
Like on other parts of my body, hair grows on my face.... and guess what?!?! I don't shave every day.
Why do poeple feel the urge to mention it? Do I go around telling poeple they need a hair cut, or their legs waxed?
Coworker: "Forgot to shave this morning Dave?"
Dave: "Forgot to brush your teeth this morning Bob?"
