    Why Is It That...?



    Why is it that:-

    • …when I’m driving my van on the main road, with no-one behind me, a car driver coming from a side turning will rush out to get in front of me instead of waiting a few moments for the clear road behind?

    • …having got the road in front of me the driver will then slowly accelerate causing me to hit the brakes and reduce speed by about 20mph?

    • … the driver will not reach the speed limit? He appears to have but one speed available to his modern car – 38mph. This he will hold through 40mph, 60mph and 30mph speed limit areas.

    Why is it that:-

    • …my screen wash bottle runs out just after the biggest swarm of bugs ever seen in the world appears in front of me?

    Why is it that:-

    • …when it’s a good night for fishing the fish take the night off?

    This is what bugs the hell out of me.

    Fair enough if some people don't want to drive the speed limit in a 40,50,60 or 70mph zone.... but holding 38mph though a 30 zone!!!!!! these people want shot!!!!

    Even I do 30 in a 30 zone!!

    Old folk and females should get the bus.

    Aleksandar again.
    Try to answer second question.
    Sorry,but my opinion is, about fish,if you joke,that the fish go to the night bar.Imagine that all day big fish is hangry and want to eat small fish,because small fish get yourself a rest for a while(go to bar).
    I am joking.
    Continue with story,but now good thing.When small fish off,You must wait and hope in order to cautch
    big fish.Fishing relax that will help you to get big
    fish.You must wait and strong belive with all knowledge you have about fishing and nature(feel the river or lake or sea,feel the air,temperature,wind and all in nature you can feel and strong belive).Never
    forget to try find a places where human wasn't before,
    that will help you to feel nature.Find where tree is cut and fall in the river.Wait....
    I am fishing in my country like that.
    Aleksandar.

    Murphy was an optimist.
