Friday's thoughts

I don't usually ever open those emails where they have been forwarded from and to a bagillion other peeps. You know the ones....where you will have bad luck if you don't forward to at least 10 other people? Or you've inherited millions, but you need to contact a barista in the UK who then needs your help getting the money to your bank account, but first you need to wire HIM some money. Um, yeah, they immediately get trashed in my email account. Same with the Viagra ones, and Sarahwhatshername that has new pics to share with you. If I don't know you, I don't open either. However, Scooter is prone to opening the forwarded ones from his friends. Sometimes they are worthy of reading, sometimes not. It's his email though, so I let him deal with it. Yesterday, I was showing him what I blogged about and he said "well, I just happen to have an email from XX (his friend in the midwest) that fits along with your post". He read it to me and I asked him to forward it to me. So, I thought I would share it all with you...enjoy!


The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, ''I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally. . . I assumed you had stolen the car.''

I loved it and hope you got a laugh from it as well. I have no knitting or crocheting to share with you today. Not much of it happened yesterday since I had a sick husband home and was playing nurse. He was feeling much better today, so went into work. I have errands to run today, but I'm hoping to get back to my needles and hooks at some point today or tomorrow. Scooter and I love to go out on Super Bowl Sunday when all the roads and stores are empty. lol He isn't a football watching kind of guy and thinks all the hype over it these days is ridiculous, as well as all the money spent on it. I never minded watching the game back in the old days before they decided they needed to show every play on instant replay 55 times! These days, it's almost insulting to our intelligence, or at least, that's mine and Scooter's opinion. So, we will go out and do our part to boost the economy by doing some shopping, and having dinner and drinks at one of our fav restaurants sans sports bar.

Have a great weekend! :=)
