The
Bird
The
other day I was on my way home from work when the most
remarkable thing happened. Traffic was heavy as usual,
and as I sat there at a red light, out of nowhere a
bird slammed into my windshield. If that wasn't bad
enough, the poor creature got its wing stuck under the
windshield wiper.
Just
then the light turned green and there I was with a bird
stuck on my windshield. Without any other apparent options,
turning on the windshield wipers seemed the only thing
to do. It actually worked.
On
the upswing, the bird flew off, and here is the crazy
thing... it slammed right onto the windshield of the
car behind me. No, it didn't get caught under the windshield
wipers of that vehicle, but the car behind me was a
police car.
Of
course, knowing my luck, immediately the lights went
on and I was forced to pull over. The officer walked
up and told me he saw what had happened at the light.
Trying to plead my case fell on deaf ears. He simply
stated: I am going to have to write you up for flipping
me the bird.
