My odd encounter at a stoplight today...
Okay, so I'm going home from work and pull up to a red light in the right lane with my window down... In the left lane next to me is a huge pickup truck...

I'm stopped there (it's a long red light) listening to Randi Rhodes when I hear the question "Wanna race?"

I turn down the radio and looked over...two very big and burly looking guys, who could have been twins and/or NFL linemen, were looking right at me, waiting for a reply...

I looked at their truck, (twice as big as my thirty year old car) wondering if they were serious, I said "I don't know how I can beat you!"

The driver replied, "Gotta stick?"

I started to say "no, it's an automatic"...

when the passenger guy says "He wants to know if you can beat him with a stick..."

Just then the light turned green and they sped off, turning left...

I continued to go forward...thinking to myself

:wtf:

honest!

3. I think it was meant to be a joke.
You know, they have a big fast truck & you have an old slow car...the only way you'd be able to beat him would be with a stick...

4. When he asked to race you could have said.....
"Sure. I'll race you to the corner of disdain and ennui. Oh wait! I'm already there! I win!"

5. freepers are the dumbest life form ever to live on earth
the reason they don't believe in evolution is because they're the only branch of humanity that has actually gotten dumber - that is, devolved - over time.
