LOL! (No, really, I am - someone just came in and asked what I was
cackling
about [their term, not mine....]) Save us from blue hairs in land yachts!
Although in my chunk of the country, it's as likely to be BillyJoBob and
BeckyMarieSue in a stepped up pickup with neon-accented running boards and
a
gun rack....
But I digress... So did that explanation satisfy your young miss?
You see, for me it's a grand family tradition. I learned to drive, and
swear, from my grandfather (he was always a pretty good driver, even in
his
blue-haired golden years...) Of course, I have replaced his sacreligious
blandishments and racial epithets with aspersions on intelligence, hygiene
and ancestry, but to each his own.... ;-P

P.S. I love the word 'addlepated.' It is so rare that I ever meet anyone
else who uses it. I just wanted to let you know I was tickled to see it.
(Gawd, I am such a geek!)
