12. You believe using your turn signals gives away your plan to the enemy

There's an advanced version of this one that I picked up driving in Italy years ago. If you want to change lanes or make a turn, whatever you do, don't turn you head the slightest bit in that direction. That telegraphs your intentions to the enemy, who will then take whatever actions necessary to block you. Instead, turn your had as far as you can in the opposite direction, relying on turning your eyes and on peripheral vision to check the area. (Think head fake.) Then make your move slowly and deliberately, being careful not to respond in any way to the sound of cursing or honking horns. If they suspect that you really don't see them, then they won't lose face by backing down.

And for the last time, Milk Shakes don't have any ice cream in them.

Hey how about this.....
Does anyone use "Bullshit" to describe someone who's pissed off?
Like, "that guy cut me off and I was bullshit!"
I have friends in NY/NJ and I used that once in front of them. They had no idea what I was saying.

OK, I'll bite -- what do milkshakes have in them?

Is this a twick?

Milk shake? Milk and syrup, that's all, NO ice cream.

You mean like homemade chocolate milk?

So I guess what I would call a milkshake you would call a frappe, right?
