You can always count on some dumb broad to back her SUV into a fire hydrant, knocking it over 90 degrees and producing a spectacular geyser. You'll notice the driver that created the west coast version of Buckingham Fountain is nowhere to be seen... http://tinypic.com/ej5s1g.jpg > You can always count on some dumb broad to back her SUV into a fire > hydrant, knocking it over 90 degrees and producing a spectacular > geyser.

Every hydrant I've seen toppled was equiped with an automatic flow control valve to prevent that exact thing from happening. Water must be plentiful around there. ;) -- John C. >> http://tinypic.com/ej5s1g.jpg > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >to prevent that exact thing from happening.

I nearly got clobbered this afternoon by some nitwit bimbo in a minivan. I'm on 17 north in the #2 lane approaching the SSI Causeway. She was exiting the SSI Causeway onto 17 North (the layout is that 17 is 2 lanes northbound untill the causeway where a #3 lane forms for causeway traffic to exit and continues north with 3 lanes. There is a yield sign for causeway traffic going to 17 north and the rest of traffic is controlled by a light. 17 northbound traffic had a green light). I'm in the #2 lane when she comes right off the causeway into and immediately goes to the left into the #2 lane where I am. Fortunately for her, I had the #1 lane clear and was able to move over before my nose went right into her drivers door, but not with out copious amounts of horn and dirty looks from me as I went past. And ofcourse, the bitch had a cellphone buried in her ear. I guess the echo in her head drowned out my horn... > On Wed, 12 Oct 2005 20:06:10 -0700, Scott en Aztlán > <scottenaztlan@yahooNOSPAM.com> said the following in [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > from me as I went past.

Immediately after cutting me off she slammed on her brakes about 10 feet from the turn, facing a green light, before panicking and swerving back left into the through lanes, nearly getting slammed by a box truck that somehow swerved to avoid her. Great stuff. Dave |
