(With apologies to the author of Proverbs 6:16)
There are six things
the Lord hates,
yes, seven are an
abomination to Him;
tailgaters, lane weavers,
those who eschew
turn signals or get into the wrong
toll lane; those who proceed too
slowly in passing lanes, or merge
unsafely, these are
forgiven by the Lord.
And this is yet another
reason you should be
thankful since He is obviously
much more tolerant of
your driving
than I.
