I know everyone has seen this one before........

Our "For What It'* Worth Department" hears from Hershey, Pennsylvania -- where the woman in the Mercedes has been waiting patiently for a parking place to open up. The shopping mall was crowded.

The woman in the Mercedes zigzagged between rows -- then up ahead she saw a man with a load of packages head for his car. She drove up and parked behind him and waited while he opened his trunk and loaded it with packages.

Finally he got in his car and backed out of the stall. But before the woman in the Mercedes could drive into the parking space . . . .

A young man in a shiny new Corvette zipped past and around her and HE pulled into the empty space and got out and started walking away.

"Hey!" shouted the woman in the Mercedes, "I've been waiting for that parking place!" The college-ager responded, "Sorry, lady; that'* how it is when you're young and quick."

At that instant she put her Mercedes in gear, floorboarded it, and crashed into and crushed the right rear fender and corner panel of the flashy new Corvette. Now the young man is jumping up and down shouting, "You can't do that!"

The lady in the Mercedes said, "That'* how it is when you're old and rich!"

From the movie Fried Green Tomatoes
