Yep, they amazed me so much I nearly sh*t my pants. Let's just say the wife and I are very happy to be home, and even more satisfied to enjoy the views stateside from now on.

It was an award celebration trip for her sales figures. Next year we'll take the money.
This is a whole 'nother level. Scary-crazy stuff. (no smiley really fits here)
Was this going in or coming out? I forget the process and who checks who into and out of the US.

people who place bombs and plan terrorist attacks out of religious motives.

Amsterdam escaped a terrorist attack today, a certain area of the city has been evacuated this morning and several arrest have been made. It has to be very serious before the Dutch government decided to clear an area. Among the people (all muslims with Maroccan roots) is a family member of one of the Madrid terrorists. It seems pretty serious and I am pretty shocked.

It was going in. When you land, the first place you pass through is Mexican emmigration. When you reenter the United States, you pass through US emmigration followed by US customs. Her company took pictures of my passport to keep a paper trail and offered to pay us back. A very nice jesture, but of course money was the last thing on our minds at the time. We just wanted to get home safe.

Advise for those who travel: My wife made photo copies of our passports the day before we left so we had direct proof of before and after the incident on hand. I'd suggest doing this and also leaving a copy with family, just in case.

Tonight I was trying to parallel park my car, clearly slowing down, with my turn signal on, when I come to a stop and put it in reverse I notice a young female driver had pulled right up on my bumper. The car behind her had stopped far enough back to let her back out of the way and let me quick pull in and park, but instead she waits until the next lane was open and then proceeds to honk at me and quick swing around me giving me a dirty look. I guess brake lights and the turn signal weren't enough warning for her

People that speak of unthawing some meat from their freezer for dinner.

WHAT???

Yes, that is what many people say around here.

They unthaw all sorts of things. It is comical.

In a little different sense...

What amazes me is people who will generously send cigars to people they have never met...

People who demonstrate genuine concern for folks they only know by a screen name and avatar...

People who selflessly support our troops with reminders of home while they serve so far away...

These are the kind of things that truly amaze me.

Genius!!

Additionally, I hear people who go (or need to go) to our employee "orientations" refer to the class incorrectly.

They speak about the class afterwards/before and note it as "i have to orientate" or "now that i am orientated"...

Bothers me!

People that have absolutely no idea where they are in relation to their surroundings.

Like the people who push a shopping cart down the middle of the path in a parking lot and then are totally surprised to see a car behind them when you pull up behind them.

Everyone has hot water heaters here in PA.
Being as they're cold water heaters, or hot water tanks, or water heaters, I suppose it's just a mishmosh of all those things they hammered together.
If you like unthawing stuff, rev, you'd love George Carlin's skit about getting on a plane.
He says, "I'll get IN the plane. Let Evil Knievel get ON the plane."

I always love it when people complain about cops doing their jobs.

"WTF man, i just got a ticket for doing 61 in a 35, F'in pigs have nothing better to do than give out BS speeding tickets."
