Commuter Woes Part II
After my near-death morning experience, I witnessed something rather evil on the drive home. See, there was an ambulance that came screaming up in the other lane. I pulled to the side, as did the car facing me, to let the ambulance squeal by. With no shoulder on either side to speak of, the ambulance was having a rough time. I was pretty much alone on my side of the road, but I saw that when the ambulance passed, the guy on the other side of the road got pinned by the four cars racing behind the ambulance. Talk about taking advantage of the situation. And that poor guy who actually did the right thing…totally screwed by his fellow Americans.
It’s not like it was a florist truck making one of those emergency anniversary flower delivery trucks. We all know how important flowers are, particularly if you’re a dude who tends to forget. Maybe that would be acceptable – I mean, latching onto the floral delivery vehicle and all. But an ambulance? There’s no gift of love in the backseat. There’s probably just some dude who got a little aggressive with the chainsaw and has the fingers of one hand crossed with the fingers of the other hand in a cup of ice.
Speaking of anniversaries, mine is coming up. Think I should go with flowers? Or maybe there’s something cool I can get delivered in an ambulance. Time for a search engine…
