JUST when you think you've seen the weirdest things imaginable.... Life reminds out of just how weird it can be
I was outside earlier, and happened to look down the hill to see a jeep cherokee moving slowly up the hill in a cloud of thick a** smoke! Walk down there, & the woman driving is trying to power up the hill with a blown tire!
I yelled over for my neighbors, "Q, K, you got to see this!"
She got halfway up & stopped moving, yet in her infinate wisdom kept the pedal to the floor, with the rim spinning on the stationary rubber to beat the band.
Talking to her, I found out that she DROVE it down to a gas station to fill the tire with air because it was flat when she left home! AND, that it wouldn't hold air so she was driving it hom like that. She ALSO had NO spare tire - oh joy....
(We're tiny, we're toony, we're all a little looney....)
But oh wait, it gets better!
By this time my neighbor, "K", had ALSO come out, and we managed to convince her to back up towards the curb to park it.
Instead of going to the right she goes WAY left, driving up over the curb, onto someone's lawn, back over the curb onto the road, and aims for a power pole!
WEL-COME TO WACKYLAND!!!
Finally we get her out of the jeep, get carrie behind the wheel to do it, & like an idiot offer her a ride to where she needed to go - on my e-bike (she's 250 at least). Took about 10 minutes to get her on the bike!
And WHERE is she going????
ACROSS TOWN TO A BAR!
YEP! a BAR!
So many phrases come to mind:
"the wheel is turning but the hamster's dead"...
"Never underestimate the power of stupid people"
"Beauty is only skin deep, but stupid is to the bone."
And my personal favorite,
"NO LIFEGUARD IN THE GENE POOL!"
(Sigh) I'm getting too old for this sh**....
Does anyone know a nice SANE place I can move to???
