Mother Fucking Monday

Pedestrians.  Normally, I consider them a plague upon drivers.  Reading the news this morning, however, I actually had some sympathy for this poor bastard.  If you took the time to read that link, you'll notice right away that the dumb fucker was jaywalking.  I'm all for running into jaywalkers that aren't fast/smart enough to move, which is exactly what happened here.  The shitty part being that after he got hit by the first truck (which would have gotten the point across that jaywalking on a major thoroughfare is a bad idea), dude somehow managed to get his clothing stuck to a different vehicle unrelated to the incident.  Bad luck?  Sort of.  Especially if you were the shit head driving the second truck.  Because he was drunk.  So what do you do if you're a dumb fuck who's driving impaired and the person in front of you mows down a pedestrian?  Why, you go around, obviously, because when the po-po show up they're going to want to interview you, and when your breath smells like Lindsay Lohan's talking with police isn't your ideal situation.  What you shouldn't do in this situation is run over the victim and have his clothes catch on your truck and then drive almost 30 blocks, dragging him along to his death.

Unless, of course, the guy under the truck was the head of British Petroleum.  Extenuating circumstances and all that rot.

Hahaha...in Switz, you MUST stop if someone is at a crosswalk, regardless of the flow of traffic...and if someone is more than 25 meters from a crosswalk, you have to let them'jaywalk' or the driver of the vehicle can be ticketed.Coming from 'The Chuck' it took me sometime to stop terrorizing pedestrians.

Remind me never to drive in Switzerland then brite (you know, because we're there soooo often).

And yes Dani, between you and my darlin' wifey, the home reno bug ran away with me. I'm still tweaking, but it's fun.

As a Florida girl with my beloved Gulf practically in my
back yard, I say Amen. Amen. What I would give to "accidentally" mow Tony Hayward down and then back up and do it again with a big Whoo-Hoo and then pour British Petroleum oil down his gagging throat.

That would be a good day.

Thanks for stopping by my LOL feature yesterday.
