Stupidity Should Be Painful
I've come to the conclusion that we all have our own special stupid habits. No, not silly, not cute, not anything but stupid. This weekend I had an epiphany and figured out one of mine. Sadly (or stupidly) I'm sure I'll continue on doing it despite having discovered, analyzed and detailed it.It involves the dashboard of my truck. You see I throw stuff up on my dashboard all the time (by the way after realizing this tendency I've checked numerous dashboards and have concluded that it is a rare stupidity indeed) The stupidity comes in because every day I drive up and down one of these.....
....and everyday the stuff on my dashboard ends up on the floor of the passenger side of my truck. It doesn't take a turn like this to accomplish the stupidity but I do traverse a similar road every day and every day I reach up in a vain effort to catch whatever I've tossed up there. Sometimes I realize what is going to happen and I slow down or soften the turn. This is just proves more maddening as I watch the pile of stuff slow down as it crosses the expanse of my dash, mocking me as it hits the roof strut on the far side and laughs as it falls to the floor. So I bend over and pick it up from the floor as I mutter some invective and try to stay on my side of the road. You've probably seen me, I'm in the red pickup that has no driver that is swerving toward you.
Day after day I've done this, year after year. Envelopes, CD's, my cell phone ear bud, if it's small enough to toss up there it ends up on the floor. So the next time you see a small red pickup with no driver..... that would be me... being stupid.
