very good! lol, most enjoyable.

i did have to chuckle at 93% tho. its typical human mentality. it should read "93% of drivers think everyone ELSE should stick to the speed limit"

and can apply to other things like "think everyone ELSE should buy a smaller car" or "think everyone ELSE shouldnt drop litter or fag butts" or "think everyone ELSE should turn house hold appliances off at the plug instead of on standby or displaying some sort of digital clock"

lol

Years ago a gent told me "Figures don't lie but Liars figure."
I enjoyed reading the stats. I wonder what was the percentage of people who fudged on the survey.
hugs
Gracie

Amongst others, one that really makes me wonder is ........

94% of boys aged 11-13 can recognise a banana.

Just what the h*ll do the other 6% think it is ???? !!!!!
