Let's stop calling them RV's

I've got a better idea. Since there's a bunch of confusion, even here,
about what's an RV and what isn't, I'm proposing a more sensible way to
label stuff with letters.

From now on lets forget about calling things an RV. It's way too broad
and meaningless. Instead here's how it should go down:

HAV - home away vehicle (what's now called RVs of the self-contained
type)
CHAV - combination home away vehicle (trailers and fifth wheel RV with
tow vehicle)
BV - bicycle vehicle
MV - motorcycle vehicle
AV - automobile vehicle
TV - truck vehicle
ORV - off road vehicle
AV - air vehicle
OSV - outer space vehicle

WAV - water away vehicle (small engineless boat like canoes, dinghys,
wind surfers and kayaks)
WAVE - water away vehicle with engine (motor boats and motor yachts)
WWV - water work vehicles (commercial boats)
MWV - military water vehicle

Doesn't this make much more sense? And it will reduce confusion. Let's
face it, the average everyday RVer is none too bright. Just reading a
handful of posts here proves how true that is. They seem overly confused
even about simple things like simple bicycle traffic law. These initials
would ease the burden on their feeble intellects. Don't you think?

There is one final RV designation that needs to be put in place. That's
HMBHAV/CHAVAD. This designation would include most of you here. It
describes the drive - not the vehicle. It stands for Homocidal Maniac
Bullie Home Away Vehicle/Combination Home Away Vehicle a.shole Driver.

The only thing lower than you is a recumbent cyclist. At least when
you hit them you don't have to worry about them coming through the
windshield.

I rest my case! HMAW (Homicidal Maniac a.shole Wayne!)

You'd better hope I never come through your windshield. Even if I was
dying I'd have plenty enough strength left to wring your scrawny neck,
shove your fat a.s out the hole in the windshield and run you over with
your own HAV. Turn about's fair play.

He's nothing but a troll, if you stop replying to them they'll go away.

Please tell me if it's difficult being a genius.  I always wanted to know.

I would but then I remembered that you're an RVer.  So what's the point, you
would understand.

And here's a nomadic for spandex bicycle boy.  (AH)   Air Head would be one
definition. I'm sure other definitions would fit as well.

away.

=====================================

Hmmm, interesting sentence construction, Jerry.

"He's (third person SINGULAR) nothing but a troll,  (period or semi-
colon instead here, comma is incorrect usage of punctuation) if you
stop replying to them (third person PLURAL) they'll (3rd person
plural) go away.

It's like saying "Jerry is a one misguided dude.  I know this because
I've watched them act funny a lot."

Thanks for the English lesson, I'll try and be more careful next time.

Don't! It'll make you appear educated and that'll tend to alienate most
of the RVers here who revel in being 2nd-grade dropout, ignorant
bullies.

Then it's simple math.  One RV goes over one BV with Red Blood left over.  I
like it.

RV/BV=RB

Better yet,

When BV is not equal to ORV then HAV intersect BV equals AV or OSV
depending on velocity of HAV.

Any combination where Shad's remains can be displayed by a number with at
least one zero immediately to the right of the decimal point is good too.

Nobody here is confused as to what an RV is.  It's just you that keeps
using the general term RV when you mean the more specific term of motorhome.

I HAVE A GREAT IDEA.  INSTEAD OF RVs ................
