The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?

 
Never heard of MP? INCONCEIVABLE!

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I love that stupid movie!

bwv, I want to help you. Everybody hates Howie. If you notice, Howie hates everybody back. I'd still like to meet him someday and buy him lunch.

bwv, I have a plan that will solve ALL of your issues at once. Get the farmer to "spill" some of his aged slurry fertilizer on the road at the correct point in front of your house just about 11:00 o'clock on a Saturday night. Your Harley guy will hit the stinking, slippery goop and due to his time at the bar he will lose control. If you have positioned the slurry correctly, your Harley guy will slide off the road and into the ugly pile of crap in your neighbor's front yard. He will total the Harley and damage himself. He will sue the farmer for the fertilizer on the road, he will sue your neighbors for the roadside hazard he crashed into. The neighbors will sue him back for property damage. The farmer will probably shoot him. You just sit back and enjoy. You can thank me later.
Your Howie comment:

Not everyone. And good luck with buying HIM lunch. Howie's pretty quick on the draw when it comes to grabbin' the bill and pullin' the wallet.

Loved your idea to solve all of bwv's issues. Certainly he's smilin' now. However, I would have to ask, since you seem to have a knack for this sorta thing, can you do the same for all MY issues? I've got the list right here...

Are they English or European swallows that flit around your shrubberies? Think carefully before you answer!
And to keep on topic, are they scared off when the straight pipe guy rides down your road?

 
When my instructor for Assembly Language asked, "Any questions?" I soto-whispered to my neighbor, "What's the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow in flight?"

Evidently I was too close to the instructor who clearly heard me and quickly countered with, "African or European?"

That was a fun class! He was entertaining and kept an easily-dry subject very interesting.

Just the opposite of someone riding near you with straight pipes.

That's one of the most adept segues ever - from the rabbit trail, back to the OPs topic without missing a beat (of the swallow's wings?)!

 
This thread has done well in reeling in the old crotchety goats.

Getting WAY off course with lawyer speak and movie references.

Great reading material Guys and Gals
