Live Bait Buckets and weddings
Apparently, there is a huge employment opportunity for senior citizens delivering wedding cakes and lidless buckets of live bait. That is the only reason I can think of for the way they are driving on the local roads. For some, it can take up to a full minute to make a right hand turn off the main road, almost coming to a complete stop before beginning to gradually drift to the right, thus insuring that the four-tier wedding cake in the back seat doesn't turn over.
Others drive so slowly that it is difficult to distinguish full speed ahead from a full emergency stop.
Before anybody gets their @ss up in the air and their tail over the footboard, let me point out that I am qualified to gesture and laugh at these auld foarts because I are one and am aware of the effect that gray hair has on brain cells. ---But, I sure would like to have some of these people deliver my live shrimp to the pier. There would positively be no spillage from the bucket. I would never qualify for this kind of position---I'm in too big a hurry to get to the pier and start fishing.

The best bumper sticker I ever saw was the last time I was down there. It read "when I retire I am going up north and driving in the left lane" We have enough GDOP'S up here, so we decided to put them to work down there moving wedding cakes around.

Summer its just as bad coming home from the pier, two cars, side by side, one with Louisiana plates, the other with Mississippi plates, both doing 45mph all the way up Hwy 59, with a mile of cars behind them.
