The feet on the dash thing has been a longtime fear of mine and DDF really hit home with this one and I'm glad I'm not alone. But the motorcycle thing drives me nuts. In the summer when I see people speeding around the DC beltway wearing shorts, short sleeves, and flip-flops on a motorcycle weaving in between cars I just shake my head and hope they don't lose it right in front of me so I'm the one that smears them all over the road.

Didn't they just buy a vacation home at a steep discount from that old guy who had no one else to leave it to except his own children, who of course wouldn't want it if it could be a gift to the Morgans instead?

It's just weird that "real estate" has come up twice in such quick succession on the Rex Morgan, MD Wheel of Unearned Profits. I really thought after the free scholarship for Sarah, we were due for a free vacation or maybe a free vehicle or something. (I don't count the free car given to Sarah's babysitter, since Sarah's never going to get old enough to drive it.)
