Help Wanted With Night Vision

First up are supposedly funny help wanted signs:

While I admit that some of the signs did make me laugh I have never been a big fan of the term loser. I've never and will never use the word loser to describe another human being. It was interesting to me how many of the help wanted ads on the billboards for fast food restaurants had that term on them. Not my cup of tea. What ads made you laugh?

Next up is driving at night. I drive at night. A lot. You really can't avoid it in the winter. I don't really like driving at night and sometimes at night when the gain is coming down like gangbusters I am especially glad when I get home. Here are the latest advances to help us see while we drive at night:

How about you? Night driving your cup of tea? Or do you avoid it at all costs? What do you think of the latest advances?

I didn't mind the losers signs, though I thought it interesting that there were so many of them. The ones I liked best?

"Piano player wanted. Must have knowledge of opening clams" (to really appreciate this one, you have to know that a wrong note is a "clam").

I also liked "Young girls wanted for pickling and bottling", and "Come to work for Subway and have your dreams crushed like the rest of us".

I like night driving less than I used to, but I still do it and don't mind it much, except, as you say, in the rain. That's no fun.

Hi Pat

It was kind of interesting how many loser signs there were, that either a statement about the author or a statement about the people making the signs.

I didn't know clam was the word for wrong notes. That makes it even funnier. I also liked the Subway sign.

I don't see how you stop night driving. What is interest is I love getting up in the morning when it is still dark and driving but not that much at night.
