    Most powertools have sharp teeth.

    I usually have my yappy dog with me (no, not a seeing-eye dog) and she takes care of that.

    I don't mind being crass as long as it's funny. If it isn't funny it is just puerile.

    Unfortunately, you're complaining about bathroom humor (I know), and although

    I don't care for it, the number of people that go to a Jim Carrey movie says there

    are many who do like it.

    Thanks for the insights about the parking garage. Guess I am not that smart as I have never thought of that. Good thing I am not the guy designing the garages as there would not be access for these people being dropped off. I could never figure out why a blind person would be in a parking garage by alone.

    I work with a number of blind people and do not see this post as a insult but quite the opposite, blind people other senses are much better than the average person, the reason that I said " not funny " were because of what I were thinking , as for inappropriate, I am the wrong person to judge that word

    I am not an English teacher, but just for the record, "seen" is the past tense of "saw". To express yourself in proper english, the correct phrasing would be " I saw a steering wheel cover". Another correct sentence would be "I have seen a steering wheel cover." The sentence "I seen a steering wheel cover" makes me cringe worse than seeing someone driving down the road with their steering wheel cover plugged in.

    Hahaha... I had a similar reaction, as well. If you're going to use the word "stupid" in a sentence, then it would be in your favor to utilize proper grammar.

    Unfortunately, people tend to judge by first impressions, not taking into account different vernacular used in various parts of the country. Being from the South, I learned this lesson early in life. And no, I'm not an English teacher, either.

    I hope that your bumper are as least 3 or 4 feet high because blind people read braille with their finger tips
