Elective: Stupidity 101

Uncle G looks through his rear-view mirror

The weather is so bad. I can't see anything.

I'll go out and look for you

No, no, its ok, I'll manage

I look back and it's practically opaque with fog

are you sure?

yes, yes, it's ok

He's still trying to coerce his eyes into seeing, he cocks his head about looking through the rear-view mirrow

It's just terrible...I can't see anything

Let me go out and look

He ignores me, puts the car in reverse and begins backing out slowly

I hope there's nothing behind me...

He cocks his head about some more still trying to see

Oh God, I hope I don't hit anything

Maybe I should look

No.

I roll my eyes, look out the passenger window and there is a lady, running at us, hysterically waving her arms and mouthing something I couldn't quite hear

What the hell is she doing, he says, still backing up

Then it all makes sense, but it's too late. Fender meets bumper and they kiss...the police arrive, take statements...insurance companies are called and briefed...Uncle G mumbles something about his premiums getting hiked and sulks all the way home. I on the other hand, find the entire thing rather amusing, even hillarious.

You have a dark side.. err.. but I already knew that.

I'd have been amused too.

You shoulda just gotten outta the car and looked.

I can't remember what the old template looked like.. but isn't this kinda too orange?

Jaja said...

LOL..
Mumu boy.. You shouldn't have asked to look. Damnably polite...

You just step out of the car and look ( you know how we do..)

Finally blue may be dull but definitely better on here... that startling orange was hurting my eyes..

Ha! I keep going back to the opaque line and the dialogue after. Each time I laugh even louder.

I can't remember what the old template looked like but I'm thinking orange.. but isn't this kinda too blue now?

Jaja said...

Thought you were now all about updating as often as...
How long will this post be here eh?

@SSD: I know, I know, I should have gotten out but just think how boring this story would be if I had. :)

OK. I agreed with you, the other blog was way too orange so I switched back to the old one and now it's too blue? There's just no pleasing you is there SSD :) ?...BTW, can someone, anyone help me with a new look. I'm kinda sick of this plain white and blue.

@Jaja: Nah, I frankly didn't want to get out but like you said, I asked because I'm damnably polite :)
Yes, yes, I did say I would be better with updates but...sometimes...I'm lazy. I give in to that little voice in my head telling me a story is just not worth a blog. Plus every time I sit down in front of a computer, I rediscover my hatred for composition.

You can have my old template.. the nice one I had.. but since you were afraid of Nick (my hot hunk).. you'll have to find an appropriate background wallpaper.

Yea SSD...ummm nick kinda freaked me out lol but not in a bad way, just in an oddly pornographic/voyeuristic way, go figure.
