Quick request time: If you like these blogs and podcasts, I’d appreciate it if you’d tell some friends. That’s a good way to make more friends. Walk,Don’t Walk, Run Like Hell is our topic this week. I guess pushing phony pedestrian crossing sign changing buttons at least gives us a little sense of control. Even if they really don’t do anything. But what could you do to really control traffic so you can cross the street? Maybe you could make up your own sign and unfurl it when you want to stop or at least slow down the traffic. I imagine that if you made a sign saying “Slow for crossing nudists” that would slow traffic to car wash speed. Looking at it from the other side of the fence, lots of strange stuff happens when you’re driving in traffic. My Lady Wonder Wench always complains that I take too many chances in traffic. I told her “close your eyes like I do.” My buddy Al says he was driving down a narrow country road one day and he slowed down to be sure the car coming the other way had room to pass. He says the other driver rolled down his window and yelled “Pig.” So Al rolled down his window and hollered “Jerk”…and ran into a pig. That’s a lie. But it’s a fun lie. It’s like the best way to avoid parking tickets because the parking meter ran out is to remove your windshield wipers.
