Nobody really notices how sitcom-worthy life is until you’ve spent a fair share of time behind the wheel. This, my friends, is one of those ‘you-can’t-make-this-shit-up’ kind of stories… pull up a chair and let me share with you a brief and comedic tale of a baffling driving maneuver.
Scene: an entirely ordinary traffic light, right here in Small-Town, USA. Nothing out of the ordinary, until, you guessed it – Mr. Impassive decides it’s time for me to get acquainted with the underappreciated art of defying traffic logic.
Act One: The green light arrow beacons, but alas, his Highness’ car remains statuesque. A kind horn beep to remind him of the colors at play. No response. Okay, a second, slightly more urgent, honk. Finally, like a Batmobile on steroids, off he goes, tearing down a 35 mph zone at a cool 50!
Act Two: As fate would have it, we rendezvous once again at a subsequent red light. After his driving prowess displayed at the last junction, I find myself curiously anticipating his next trick. And boy, does he deliver. In a bold, impromptu performance, he accelerates through the red like it was lit up green in Christmas celebration.
So here I am, half-amazed, half-bemused, as our speed demon tries to redefine the rules of the road, fully expecting me to comment on his display of automotive disobedience, like I am the traffic police… oh, the audacity!
Life, my dear readers, continues its unsolicited comedy, catching us all off-guard, one red (or should I say green?) light at a time.
