christmas eve

So, here's my tale of lore for this year's Christmas eve.

I was driving down a stretch of highway near Oil City around noon when I had to make a left turn. Reese, Mom Welms and myself were in her mom's Escape with myself driving. I'm preparing to make my left turn when some dude in a large Chevy Silverado decided to try and make me move over into the other lane by making an illegal turn onto the highway. I know the turn he made is illegal because I frequently make that turn and in doing so, always take note of the sign that says ALL TRAFFIC MUST TURN RIGHT. So, I don't move over for the jerk - after all, he made an illegal turn, and I'm going to be making a perfectly legal left turn in about ten seconds. The dude comes inches away from slamming into the Escape, so I lay on the horn. And I mean LAYYYYYYYYY on it. To be a hard-ass, he drives up along side me and starts shouting profanities at me, while hanging out of his window. At this point, I say to myself - "What could possibly piss him off more than what I just did?" So, I begin to laugh INCREDIBLY hard at him making a total ass out of himself. This infuriates him to the point of challenging me to pull my vehicle over and step outside with him. All the while I'm trying to keep myself together enough to make the actual turn I had intended. I end up making my turn, but not before Reese's mom winds the window down and informs him that we have his plate number and that we'll be reporting him to the cops.

I couldn't believe it either. I wanted to belt out something clever like "I'm sure your wife will be at home just waiting for another black eye, why waste one on me?" but seriously, this stuff was one of the funniest situations I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. That dude was a piece of work!

I wish Reese would have wished him a Merry Christmas, like she had wanted to...
