This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A more accurate analogy would be along the lines of having jets and helicopters in the world but still using cars or trains as the main form of transportation.

Not sure how it applies, when trains are the superior form of transportation

Exactly. This is how it applies.

Not to go down the road to the store.

Jets and helicopters also have some problems with that

That's when you walk or bike.

Sounds nice, but let's be real. Not everyone is young and healthy. You can only carry so much on a bike. If the weather is bad it can be down right dangerous.

Yes. Not everyone young and healthy to get driver's license. If you have bad health you will kill people around you.

Probably shouldn’t drive that either

How do you go down the road to toilet?
