Thou Shalt Signal Thy Intentions
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007 at 6:47 pmDriving home from work this evening, I had the windows down, the sun roof open and ABC’s “How To Be A Millionaire” blasting away. In front of me most of the way was a boxy silver truck that was obviously washed only in holy water as it had a sticker of a cross and a little girl praying, an advertisement for a Christian television network and one of the metal plaques that said, “Got Christ?”
As we get to our turn, he slows down to 5 MPH and makes the right turn. I make my ever-so-slow turn behind him while I look in the rear-view mirror to make sure I don’t get rear-ended due to our speed. He then speeds up to a whopping 10 MPH as he tries to figure out where he is going and finally decides to pull over - painfully slowly — to the sidewalk. As I pass him, I decide to be a little evil and scream:
“CHRIST WOULD HAVE SIGNALED!”
…and then made my way home thinking that Mateo would have been proud.

OMG That is so hilarious! I never think of stuff like that until it’s too late.

I only think of these things because Mateo takes over my mind.

Um, that’s not evil…. Christ WOULD have signaled. And it was a good thing to remind him of that… also funny as heck…. Thanks for sharing.

Again, Hermit, you are right. About that Christ would have signaled. :)

You crack my soul, Howard.
Peace be with you and all that, birthday boy.

You said ’soul’, right? And thank you, ma’am!
