Tepid Sense of an Intrepid Destiny

Tuesday, May 04, 2004

This morning I was walking to work and thinking (at the same time!). Yeah, I know, but I wasn't chewing gum so I got by just fine. Anyhow, thinking... I often find myself in fits of rage or frustration. These fits are usually caused by morons driving, walking or existing in general. So, I remembered this time where I was down the beach driving and some dude in a gas guzzler pulled out a little too far for me to make my left turn. It looked like he was going to run the stop sign but didn't. Anyhow, I honked, he honked, I flipped the bird, he flipped the bird. So, I'm like 100 yards down the road and he got out of his car and screamed. So I stopped got out of my car and screamed back. (Background: I was an English major and think I have a decent grasp on the English language, etc. But when I get worked up I wind up using fuck as a noun, adjective, verb, adverb and pronoun.) What I screamed back was semi-unintelligible, but sounded remarkably like a racial epithet that was completely inappropriate (not because of the word itself, but because that person was probably not what that word was... ) So, he screamed back,, "What did you call me?" Remembering this got me thinking (don't worry, I am sitting down... what do you think I stand or walk as I type?), anytime I get in this sort of situation again, I will scream or calmly say something completely irrelevant or non-sensical. For instance: "You furry skunk humper! or Plastic pea-brained antelope!" I assume I will get all sorts of reactions.
