Tipperary Tales | It's a long road to Pensacola...

A reader tells me that Corporate's barnstorming onsite delegation left Montgomery, Ala., yesterday, heading 160 miles southwest for Pensacola, Fla.: "They got to the airport to find their jet was broken and needed a part. Piled all of the bigwigs into a van and had them drive to Pensacola. Looks like some midnight oil there."

How many times did they sing Roll Over during those three, l-o-n-g hours? Trace their scenic (?) ride via the interactive map, below:

  9. "Roxanne are you looking on the map, do we turn now?"

    "Oh Bob, I get so confused with maps, did we pass the Waffle House yet?"

    "I am getting car sick"

    "Craig, do you need a vomit bag? I can have Bob get off at the next stop"

    "Last time I drove down this rode, I was still in college"

    "Jack, did they have cars when you were in college?"

    "Does anyone know where Gracia went?"

  10. That's just silly.

    Everyone knows the only driving Bob does is on his way to the 19th hole.
