Instead, these passengers spread their legs apart to balance themselves while the vehicle is in motion, grabbing a bar to avoid falling only if the vehicle is moving at high speed or suddenly stops. (My classmates and I as teenagers would do the same thing while riding on public transit vehicles---spreading our legs apart to balance ourselves while the public transit vehicle is in motion.) less

DATELINE: YOUR TOWN, TODAY’S DATEHis political opponents and anyone else he considers his enemies have been roused from their beds overnight and summarily thrown in prison. This amazing feat is a cunning use of semantics and showmanship, because no mayoral election was either scheduled or announced, no one saw it coming.
King Randolph the Great and Exalted One, as he has declared his official title to be, proclaims that he will lead rule with fairness yet firmness, and he will control any and all graft and corruption that have plagued society for all too long.

To be a good sport, I tried it, and I’m telling you, surprisingly, I didn’t hate it. In fact, it wasn’t half bad. Of course, the guacamole was buried in the conglomerate of whatever other foods it was halfheartedly disguised under.
After dinner, it occurred to me that this can’t just be happenstance, and it must have a deeper significance. What does it foretell, what does it portend? When I go to drift off to sleep tonight, will I be summoned along a vast tunnel with a brightly shining light beckoning me by the call of my name? Is this my last day in this world? Am I destined to slip the icy cold grip of this life and float on to the next one?

I realize not everyone would be driving while listening but it certainly puts me on immediate "clenched muscles" fight-or-flight reaction until I realize it's just a commercial.
