Ha!  You mean that I'm not the only person in the the world with a
brain in his head?  I'd like to shake your hand.   I do this too.
Naturally, many morons behind me get impatient, thinking that I am a
"slow-ass."  Of course, my average speed is the same as everyone
else's, it's just a lot smoother.

What's really humerous is when someone is behind me, and gets to
witness first-hand how my style of driving allows my lane of traffic
to travel at a somewhat consistant pace, often completely absorbing
what I call a "stop-go" in front of us.  Often, the moron, even after
seeing what I have done, will STILL be convinced that I am a slow-ass,
and desperately try to get around me!
