as i was saying....

As you were saying? You weren't saying anything! I've been doing all the talking. I've been talking since 3 in the morning and I am getting hoarse and pretty tired.

But does that even cross your mind? No.

Okay, back to what I was talking about before.

As I was saying, I think it's about time that we had space cars. I don't mean cars that flew in space, but cars that flew on earth. I mean cars that float. No, not boats with wheels. But cars that hover. Yeah, we could call them hovercars, that would clear up a lot of the confusion. People would go to their local dealers and ask for hovercars. And they would keep going back, day after day until the dealer got some hovercars. And they'd go around and drive in their hovercars, and people would stop and stare and say "that was a hovercar" and then they'd want one for their very own. Next thing you know, they'd be down at the dealership asking for a hovercar of their very own.

And this would go on and on and pretty soon, there'd be hovercars everywhere. Even taxicabs would be hovercars, even though somehow they'd still have tires about ready to fall off. And eventually someone will come up with hovertrucks, hoverbikes, even a hoverbus, and things will be so rosy.

But inevitably, the ruthless hovercar companies would try to gouge us and charge us higher and higher prices in order to hover just an inch or two higher than we were hovering before. And some people may think twice about it, but no one will complain. They will just consider it a fact of hovering.

Someday, a hundred years from now, our ancestors will look back and see us crashing into their rear ends, because they weren't looking where they were driving their hovercars, and of course, someone as old as we will be won't have the money to pay for hovercar insurance, so we'll be out of luck and have to ride the hoverbus wherever we go. And you can rest assured our ancestors will hear about this.
