I don’t wanna know, but part of me really really wants to know the story behind this one.

Errr.. I mean that I think there is more to the story.

As opposed to a real event, this illustrates exactly why I’m loathe to get into the carpool program. If I could be guaranteed someone of a certain, let’s say, quality, it would be one thing. But I just know I’ll end up in a car pool with someone on some kind of experimental medication for rage issues and the side effects would include toxic flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome, or worse.
Developing a program that allowed you to sort based on a quantifiable ratings system would be the way to rule out the, uh, lemons.

So the whole carpool thing is an organized effort? I thought they were just decisions made by individuals, not “programs put down from above.”

Oh yeah, and “lol” on the bunny suit/Aunt Clara thing.

Some cities have Ride Share programs. I hear one advertised on the radio here in Cincinnati all the time.

Sounds to me like you have the makings of a new blog, a carpool blog. hahahaha

I love this, I especially love the Shrek outline for the scary end of the “pool fit” spectrum. Speaking as somebody whose mother shared lifts to school with several others I can confirm that the looner with the flatulence problem is EXACTLY what you will get… or a looner with a dog which has a flatulence problem!
Top stuff.

Hey BC - I don’t mind dogs, but if I wanted to wear dog hair to work every day I’d have a coat made. I’d definitely draw the line at carpooling with someone who brought an animal to work…much less one suffering with a case of the gas!
