Irish Blessings and Observations from Parking Deck 'A'

a

Upon returning from a brief escape from the insane asylum (also know as lunch), I entered the parking deck to find a family of patients entering the building. Apparently one of the family members, a big-boned middle-aged woman for lack of a better description, found it unnecessary to wear a supportive undergarment to her appointment. As I'm sitting in my car waiting behind traffic and trying not to vomit from the freak show I have just witnessed, I turn to the right to see the bumper sticker above. "Save the BLACKFLY...Maine Blackfly Breeders Association". For the record, I hate bumper stickers. Mostly because I don't care who you voted for 14 years ago, and because some things need to be kept private.

People get real. Are these the first impressions you want to make? Do you really think I'm going to slow down to let you in front of me at the impending closure of the left lane 100ft. ahead, with a bumper sticker showing a smoking pile of cartoon shit?aHighly unlikely. Am I going to let someone out of the parking deck ahead of me who wants to save the very insect that while biting my skin hatches larva and causes painful lesions?!?

I think in addition to outlawing cellphones and texting while driving, we should also outlaw pointless and annoying bumper stickers. And make all patients wear undergarments when visiting their physician.
