Sold My FEH: Driving a F-150 Now! - GreenHybrid

Pravus Prime · #1 (**permalink**) 04-01-2007, 04:52 PM

As it stands now, I'm sitting high in a brand spanking new F-150. Given my work
Pointing out the benefits of having a FEH to so many people over the internet as a
Reliable and trusted educator of their product, Ford contacted me and pleaded with me to do some good
In one of their new F-150's, to which I agreed. Now, some of you may be shocked at this
Loss to the hybrid community, and I feel rather traitorious for having giving in. But what can I say? There's money to be had!

For those who wonder about the enviromonent, nuts to you. Hybrids aren't the solution anyway.
Ostensibly, it would seem the Earth is doomed anyways. So why not go out with a pot of gold too?
One may think it's strange, but what can I say? Their offer moved me. To a bigger house!
Later all.
Sure, it won't fit in my garage. It's far too big for all my needs, and is a devil to park anywhere, but who needs great fuel economy, reasonable comfort and fantastic performance and space?

Okay, read the first letter in each line.

Very Good Rich! However, a good April Fool should be a bit trickier IMHO.
I personally would have not used bold face or added the last line.
I knew it was AF before I got a chance to even read your well thought out message!

A good place and time for some good light-hearted comic relief!

At first I did, but considering there were people reporting my last joke to the mod forum asking questions, I decided to blatantly spell it out this time. Some people have no sense of humor.

You would be suprized at how a few people can't take a joke.

For instance, someone was impersonating that diaper-wearing astronaut, soliciting advise on how to get her (Prius) bladder to last 900-miles - someone took her seriously.

No sense of Humor on the Forums ???

That just so shocks me. I have read "two" Post lately on even this GH Forum that a Mod. made the {Sad-Mistake} of mentioning another persons name and from there he reaped many comments from different members. I thought it was Funny but not as in the same text or meaning as your Post. Infact it got that person "Banned" from one of the Forums. Even afer he tried to clear up the misunderstanding as well as myself with the other person that was involved. Kinda funny in a different way.

So I can see why you have made sure this was seen as a Funny and not to be taken seriously. Amazing what gets sent in Pm's to different people to just keep things stirred up.

Things get really serious very quickly I have noticed when certain members that have no life just live on these forums and {Look} for trouble around every word, comment made by others. But if we allow these people to stir it up then I guess so be it.

BTW, Would have replied sooner but just home from the Hospital after having pneumonia in both lungs. home for a week on anti-meds.

Some people just NEVER seem to get a joke, I work with a girl like that......
