#30: Interupting Cow says... what?

Vagabond

on July 22, 2006

So a few days ago, I'm driving along, minding my own business, (speeding of course) when I notice something on my car hood. It is not bird crap, it isn't leaves, and it is not a flyer tucked under my wipers that's telling me about a hot new sexy date-rape club.

It is a praying mantis, clinging onto the space near all of those previous things.

Now, remembering that the praying mantis is an endangered species, (don't ask me how I remembered this, I just assume it's from a repressed memory of a dorky childhood) I realized that it was now my precious cargo that needed to be escorted to a safe place. Slowing down to a mere 10 miles above the limit, I quickly looked around to try and find a safe spot.

Suddenly, I reached an intersection. Remembering something from my physics class (aside from constantly yelling obscenities at my lab partner) I realized that if he was on my left side, that only a left turn could save him. Finally approaching a stop, I dropped off my terrified, but very much alive passenger.

That feeling of joy I had from doing a job well done completely made up for the bus full of nuns I ran off the road to make that turn.
