Would You Like Fries With That?
Okay, so I am a complete dolt. I actually ran into [and knocked over] one of those big highway construction barrels today. Yeah. Go me.Technically it was my side mirror that hit it and knocked it over, not my whole car. And for the record, it was slightly on the road more than the other barrels. I really didn't know I was going to hit it until I was right on it, and by that time there was no time to adjust. Still, I felt like an idiot, and a bad driver. It was my fault, as I probably wasn't paying as much attention as I should have. I was indulging in a contraband snack...a small bag of evil McDonald's French Fries, which, by the way, were free!
To further add to my driving humiliation, I had an audience. There were a couple of highway construction guys who were being "flaggers" just down the road. One of the guys had to come over and set the barrel back up. I felt bad. But I certainly didn't stop! :P

I need to make sure that I am not wearing any fall color (orange) clothing when y'all are driving.
Yeah, cause stopping would have just gotten you even more humiliation and probably some mocking or something. Silly barrels! They should know better than to be in your way! :)
Don't feel bad...my Dad once told me that when he was in college, he and his friends made a game out of it...sort of like bowling for orange barrels. Of course, that was back in the 70's when there was nothing else to do on a Friday night....
okay, lol... the other night I'm driving with my friend Jaron and I'm really into the conversation... talking, driving, talking... and then all the sudden Jaron's like, "Red! Red!!! Red!!!!" I slam on my brakes, in the middle of the intersection and just sit there and laugh hysterically until it turns green. lol. I'm a dufus.
