• And now a Public Service Announcement from the Jimbo Advisory Board

     Little Jimmy was on his way home with his family after a
  long road trip. His father was at the wheel with his new fiance, Ms.
  Legal Guardian, and her two children, Sister-in-Law v1.0 and
  Brother-in-Law v1.0. Jimmy did not particularly enjoy the trip, but put
  up with it nonetheless. The group was nearly home when all of a
  sudden, the engine died! Mr. Dad pulled over and proceeded to give the
  engine the obligatory look-over. He did not know what the problem was,
  so Ms. Legal Guardian called AAA.
     AAA heard the complaint and told them that it would cost
  $3 per mile to tow the vehicle and even more money for a taxi to taxi
  all of the people with the truck. Mrs. Legal Guardian was
  flabbergasted.
     Instead of agreeing to the illogical course of action, she
  did the right thing and hung up on the greedy bastards. The five of
  them waited in the car in hopes that the engine will miraculously
  repair itself. Shortly after, a friendly tow-truck driver spotted us
  and pulled over. We explained the problem to him and he decided to tow
  the vehicle for much less than what AAA was preaching. Also, he would
  illegally allow the occupants to sit in the vehicle being towed. Now
  that is helpful!
     Jimmy and his (shudder) family rode home and were greatful to the anonymous tow-truck driver.
    The moral: Don't call AAA for roadside assistance. Wait for a good samaratan instead!

  This has been a Public Service Announcement from the Jimbo Advisory Board.
