I’ll leave it to our VERY astute readers to figure out today’s title

    @kwacky: oh dangit, no I completely overlooked the Thelma and Louise angle.

    That’s what I love about you guys: I throw one thing out there and a whole bunch of new things come back :)

    Any chance you could explain the title for the slow guy in the back?

    Very bad pun I’m afraid… a ‘hack’ is short for ‘Hackney Carriage’ which is a very old-fashioned term for a taxi. I’m probably just showing my age, come to think of it…

    No, you’re showing your upbringing.

    I grew up in Manhattan with “Checker cabs” - we used to fight over those fold up seats in the back.
    And Grandpa was a cabbie.
    But we never ever referred to them as hacks (though I have heard of it, once you mention it).

    Now, we just need an image of a double-decker bus with the steering on the right.. :)

    Thank you for sharing that! Talk about iconic, those cabs have to be right up there with the Coke bottle and, yes, the double-decker. I’ll see if I can work one into the story :)
