I Heart Mark & Dave

Excerpts from the Kisses & Disses section in the local paper:

September 11, 2007
From our readers:

Big DISSES to the City of Portsmouth for putting in big, fancy curbs that look nice, but have sharp edges and cause you to pop your tires while going around a corner! I don't know how many times I've almost popped my tire, until a few weeks ago, in the 90 degree heat and a car full of kids, when I was driving around the corner going onto Court Street, and bam, goes my tire hard against the curb, and the kids are all yelling to me "stop the car, can't you hear the air coming out of your tire! You got a flat!" Not only did I get a big gash in my tire, my rim is now all scraped up! Please fix these sharp curbs, and put in the ones that won't damage car rims and pop tires. My husband did the same things two weeks later, and many of my friends have had this same problem! It looks like the tire companies will be making a big profit on tires in this city!

From our readers:

Man alive, did I ever get a kick out of your KISSES and DISSES column in Tuesday's (Sept. 11) edition. It seems Paula Glynn, and possibly others, believe the granite curbing the city installed is too "sharp." Said curbing is to blame for all their tire woes. Manure I say. The granite isn't popping a (darn) thing, the driver is. Your vehicle has no business being on the curbing. Learn to drive and your tires will be better for it. Just the facts, ma'am.

Major KISSES to Paula Glynn, her husband and all her friends who are unable to drive. Thanks for the heads up! Please publish your license plate numbers and vehicle descriptions so that when I see you coming I can get off the sidewalk.
— Dave Chapman, Kittery Point, Maine
