Puttering along in the left lane, at or below the speed limit. The left lane is for passing.

So? Stay in your lane. Everyone's great.

The left lane is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

No, the left lane is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED lane.

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The left lane has ALWAYS been for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only!

[โ€“] EntropyFlux@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't you tell me which lane is for loading, and which lane is for stopping!

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

There's just no stopping in the left lane

[โ€“] EntropyFlux@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Listen, Betty, don't start up with your left lane shit again.

Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend? We both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

It's really the only sensible thing to do if it's done properly. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.

Wait a minute. I know you! You're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers!

[โ€“] EntropyFlux@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You are Kareem! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.

[โ€“] EntropyFlux@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you should go back to your seat now, Joey. Right, Clarence?

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.

The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!

According to the highway code, the left lane is the one you should stay in, the right lane is the fast lane, or for overtaking.
