Things that need to be standardized

Some e-mail systems delineate recipients by commas, others by semi-colons. That needs to be standardized, or they should tolerate difference among users' preferences.

Computer and calculator keypads go

7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

but telephone keypads go

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Somebody standardize that.

I'll get right on it. Everyone send your telephones to me.

EZ Pass versus cash toll booths. The EZ Pass booths should always be on one side (whether it be right or left).

I used to think they were standard by country.

American cars on the right.

Japanese cars on the left.

German cars on the hood.

etc.

But I may be wrong.

there should just be one cash lane in the center and everything else EZ Pass, that'll teach all the holdouts a lesson.

Penises.

If they were all the same length it would solve a lot of problems. Possibly might lead to world peace.

Light switches on fixtures in hotel rooms. Ever notice that every hotel lamp has a switch in a different location?

You know, there are still some of us out here that have no need for EZPass, yet still use the occasional toll booth.

That's who the cash lane is for.
