wondering about alarm dealer moved to florida 80's

Well .... it seems that when Mooky first moved down to Florida, he was takin a walk down in Fort Meyers. He came to an intersection and there was this car being driven by another old guy, coming down the street. Although it's common knowledge to most seasoned Floridians, Mooky, being new to the area, saw the left hand signal flashing and didn't realize that most drivers in Florida drive with their signal lights flashing. Mooky thought the driver was going to turn at the intersection and stepped out into the street. A witness thought, but couldn't be positive, that he heard the car accelerate before it hit Mooky. So actually, the driver was the last person to "run across" Mookey. The driver said he didn't know he'd hit anyone. He said that he thought that he'd hit a speed bump and just kept on going.

Ironically, when they finally caught up with the driver, in the course of the investigation, it was revealed that years before, when the driver had lived in Pennsylvainia, Mookey had collected payment for installing an alarm system from him, but ran off with the money.

No one is really sure of how aware of what happened ...... the old guy is.

Funny how these things work out sometimes ..... eh?

If the story is true that would be a very ironic ending indeed but i could see it happening down there.

OH Come ON Nick,

I was just kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you were kidding but i could see it still happening. call it ultimate justice.

Well......... I wasn't going to bring it up but..... Didn't you once admit to being a H*mo sapien? :) Or was that the other Jim.

There was a crooked man who walk a crooked mile......Didn't that have to do with just being plain old?

Now THAT, I can't argue with!

Old is a relative term. When I was in college a young freshman girl once asked my age. I said 22 and she replied, "Wow! I didn't know we had any old people here." On the other hand, my 88-year old mother recently asked (in jest), "What do you think I'm an old lady?"

I had the good sense to answer, "No, Mom. Of course not." :^)

Good move. Otherwise she might have cuffed you along side your ear.

't know we had any

I think that no matter how old WE get, we never get too old to get a smack from Mom ..... now and again.

Not my Mom. She uses words more effectively than a back-hand. I recall once when I was a young teenager I was at the table bragging (in jest) about my "experience" with women. My father said, "Son, I've forgotten more about sex than you'll ever know." Mom immediately quipped, "Yes, but did you have to forget?" :^)

She's amazing -- 88 years old and she still does the NY Times crossword in ink.
