Most of the time you zip on through, while people recoil in confusion at the sight of Pipi Longstocking driving an inflatable car!

Whereas (gee, doesn't that sound so much more cultured than just saying 'but'?) our techniques allow you to proceed with no delays at all. I mean, isn't that the whole point of these electronic tagging systems in the first place? :-) Well, maybe… but if so, that would require an actual stop to ’splain things.

Mike Bob,

You won't sound funny, but you won't have to spend that extra buck on helium every time you wanted to skim through a toll undetected.

I am inspired by those little lizards that have the big pop-up collar-thingees that make them see ferocious. I'm thinking inflatable body panels that make your car look like another make and model (and obscures the license plate). One cylinder of helium in the trunk and you're good to go! Plus, when the cops finally pull you over, you'll sound really hilarious! Mike Hey Bob,

This guy in NYC drives around in his cab, people get in, and then he asks them questions. They get the questions right, they get money. The game ends when they reach the destination of the passengers. Three wrong answers, the passengers have to get out wherever they are and walk. But anyway, something that becomes very, VERY apparent while watching the show is that a single person is quite stupid. Even the really good single people tend to only get a couple hundred dollars. Two people, in this situation, are twice as smart. (Usually this wouldn't be true because of overlapping knowledge. But most the questions asked on the show aren't exactly common knowledge kinds of things.) And three or FOUR people, well, those are the groups that win a couple thousand dollars.
