I think what I need is one of those radar thingies that sits on your front bumper and jams on the brakes if you get too close to the car in front of you. Because this is just getting ridiculous. Out of the last four cars I've had, three have managed to somehow ram into the tail end of another car. And I think the fourth one didn't do it only because I traded it in on a pickup truck before it got a chance to do its heat-seeking missile imitation.
At least my Jeep basically shrugged this one off without a scratch on the bumper (not to mention that at under 2mph, the only damage to the other car was some crushed styrofoam in his bumper and a split bumper cover). Still, now I get seven years of bad luck (a.k.a. "enhanced insurance points"). Oh well.
Maybe penguins shouldn't drive. But how else is a desert penguin to get around in the desert? Not much water to swim in out there!

ReplyDeleteMaybe you should pay attention and be more careful? Penguins and monkeys shouldn't drive I guess. Just stay home more, or bike or walk. Hugs.
I read you at least once a day BadTux and I don't know if I've ever commented but after I read this and saw that there was one commenter, I said "there's bBC telling BT what a fuck head he is" I really hate it when I can see the future. Keep on keepin' on BT. I really enjoy your writing.

Hello, Mr Penguin.
ReplyDeleteAt 2 mph, it's a wonder you weren't rear-ended.
Oh, I forgot.
Your iceberg is currently parked in Cali.
What a breakneck pace!
Are you sure you weren't speeding?
I just wanted to say that the word verification system gave me:

Which for all the world looks like some type of Scandinavian belch.
Not so sure if they have herring in the Baltic...
