...And they're off....

I had the most wonderful evening with Tracy and the Starbucks patio. I had really missed my “T” time and we had a blast. Unfortunately we did have to go home at some point so we said our goodbyes and I headed to Subway to pick up dinner for the family. Grabbed a few sandwiches and I was on my way home when I got caught at a red light. As I sat there I was people watching like usually when all of a sudden the light turned green and the race was on.

To my left there was an old man in a Mercedes, or something like that, convertible and on his left there was this red fast & furious type import card with a big fin and one of those mufflers that sound like the sewing machines taking off into space.. you know what I’m talking about. Well these too had apparently been eyeing each other because the green light came and away they went. Squealing tires and all, then I see the funniest thing ever. The old man hit the accelerator so hard that he lurched forward giving himself the most insane case of whip-lash (or as I can tell from watching) and flew down the road. His head slammed forward and then twice as hard slammed back. I could tell it stunned him and he had already smoked the little import so he hit the brakes hard causing his whole body this time to jump forward. I know it’s not nice to laugh at others but I was laughing so hard that I almost hit the car in front of me that decided the turn right “all of a sudden”, didn’t they know I was watching the reckless idiots next to us? I laughed so hard my eyes I was crying but thinking to myself, at least he won that little ego controlled power jaunt down Shawnee Mission Parkway because it would just be sad if he had lost after going through that bodily torture.

I immediately pick up the phone, I just had to share. I was still laughing out loud when I tried to call Tracy of coarse no answer. (Ha-ha just teasing “T”) So I called Roy, I knew he wouldn’t get the humor quite like she would have but he did make a good effort to humor me.

So to that little white haired man in the shiny black Mercedes... you go boy! But next time you might want to wear a helmet :)
