  Today's Puzzler: Why did the SUV just stay there?

  by Open mind in

  on my morning commute today in a residential area, there was an suv driving in the same lane i was in, but about a block ahead of me.

  the suv pulls over just past a bus stop where a young lady is already waiting for a bus.

  the suv lets off a passenger who starts walking back to the bus stop.. .

  @ Queequeg: " if someone did a comparative study of the different religions' carbon footprints, what would they find?"

  Sounds like a good job for the Pew Research Institute.

  (They've already shown JWs to have the worst born-in retention rate and to be among the poorest educated among Americans with a religious background.)

  Were you one of those JWs who would drive from one end of the territory to the other doing RVs with the goal being to use as much time and fuel as possible?

  I certainly was towards the end of my stint with the JWs. Really grated on my wife's nerves until she finally started to smell the JW coffee.

  @ Glander: "You left out a pertinent clue..."she was wearing a pheasant dress".... "

  Peasant, Glander, peasant!

  Yeah, if I had included that detail, there would have been no puzzle whatsoever.

  jgnat: Bingo!!

  My JW "spidey sense" started going off big time as I watched the middle-aged woman leaving the SUV wearing a peasant dress. As I drove past, I recognized her face from a nearby congo.

  Part of my brain wanted to yell out the window "Run!! It's a cult!!"

  But mostly I just thought "What a complete waste of time, gas and energy".

  As I'm now nearing the SUV, I begin to slow down because I know there's a good chance he might absent-mindedly just pull back out in front of me without looking.
  
  But he didn't. He just stayed there. And stayed there, while I crept past.
  
  Can you think of any idea why?
  
  (First correct answer gets an extra day of eternal non-existence!)

  Welcome aboard Comm. Chairman.

  A little diversity around this place is always a good thing IMO.

  I was wondering if someone started a Facebook "Fan Page" and posted sickeningly GB-sycophantic posts, would the average JW notice the R-rated acronym embedded in the title.

  I've barely got time to post a fluff thread like this one, much less start a Facebook page like that.
