Foot bone connected to the ankle bone
Ankle bone connected to the leg bone
Leg bone connected to the knee bone
Knee bone connected to the thigh bone
Thigh bone connected to the hip bone

Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones............

I guess it gets confusing when the only time you've ever navigated the streets of your own home town has been in inside a limousine with darkened windows............

I can be driven nuts by New Yorkers who think that just because they have every possible ethnic restaurant in that city, there's no need to go outside the five boroughs, ever.

And while NYC is in many ways a wonderful place, and I'd love to visit it again in my lifetime, it does not have everything. Least of all open spaces.

I'm pretty sure he's never driven a car in his life.


on edit: Yes, I've seen the promo pictures of him behind the wheel of vehicles, and I've seen the old picture of his driver's license.

I still doubt he ever drives around NYC.

He has a driver wherever he goes, and he probably ignores the route when another person is driving. Most New Yorkers take cabs, buses and subways, but a lot of them walk a surprising amount. My son and daughter-in-law live in lower Manhattan, and they do more walking every day than I do in a month.

Well we all know Chump doesn't walk, but he does own property in New York City. So we should assume that he doesn't drive a car, and hasn't driven in a long time.
