Would be a bitch on the drive-thru...

I am sure shame plays a large role in preventing crime willful flatuence in public. In some cultures or families more than others.

Not sure how Fauci has time to read grant proposals, with how busy he is killing puppies.

He had time to read the Wuhan proposal, because he talked about it more than once.

Not directly, but Fauxi helped create the Wuhan Virus.

Seems reasonable to think so. Certainly the connection is strong enough to be used as fair play in politics. I guess left-leaning people who ever once stuck up for Trump against all the nonsense thrown at him, would have the moral authority to claim otherwise. (Crickets.)

Nailed it:

Woman Killed, Buried Newborn So Her Family Wouldn't Be Mad

A woman who had been keeping her pregnancy a secret from her family has been charged with killing her newborn child last fall, according to police in Leyden Township.

Authorities said Alvory C. Chavez Ramos, 23, suffocated her newborn son and buried him in the backyard of her home sometime between Oct. 31 and Nov. 30, according to medical examiner records.

The Cook County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Chavez Ramos gave birth in a bathtub in her family home and covered the child's mouth and nose to prevent relatives from hearing the baby cry and getting mad at her.

When the baby stopped moving, Chavez Ramos put him in a plastic bag and buried him in the backyard, officials said.

Police did not discover the child's remains until May of 2021 when an autopsy confirmed the child's cause of death was suffocation. DNA tests later proved Chavez Ramos was the boy's mother, leading to the 23-year-old's arrest Saturday.

Police did not immediately respond to questions on how the newborn's remains were discovered.

According to police, Chavez Ramos hid her pregnancy from family because "she did not want them to be angry with her," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

They otter not do that...

Same stuff, most likely.

Aww.... cry me a river.

Okay, so now I’m going get nickled and dimed to no end. The indignity of it all!

Aqua: I can pitch in and give you my two cents if you think it'd help.

Nah, Renauda's worth fitty cents at least

This is starting to resemble a scene cut from a Marx Brothers’ movie.

Pwned.

Just like Camel 66...

Two years, I'd thought nothing of walking to the train station after a concert (about a mile) at 10 pm. Not sure I'd do that now, and cabs are tough to get.

This is on the route I'd take from Chicago Union Station to Symphony Center.

Before I retired, a plastic surgeon with whom I worked invited me to drive his Maserati. I don't remember what model it was, other than it was a two-door.

We just took it around the parking lot of the hospital, and it was wonderful.

It was just so...Italian. It wanted to hug you and kiss you. "I'll forgive you for your fuck-ups, Baby!" it said.

Unlike the German cars which make you obey (and I drive an Audi).

Oh sorry, mustn't shoot the messenger.

I don't see why not if all the messenger brings is a either a provocation or a whole lot of nothing.
