So there I am, sipping my coffee, grudgingly making my way to the office, when I notice…
A pair of pants sitting by the side of the road. I don’t recall seeing a pair of pants there on mornings past, but, still, it’s not THAT strange.
Then, I lift my head up a bit and notice on the other side of the crosswalk…
A shirt. No, wait, a shirt, and some boxer shorts. Wait… a shirt, some boxer shorts, a sock, and a shoe.
At this point, I’m beginning to chuckle a little, as it seems apparent that had I come to work earlier, there would have been some unclothed (with the exception of a single shoe and sock) person hobbling down the sidewalk, and it probably would have been pretty funny.
Then, I get to the other side of the sidewalk and notice something else. And this is the kicker. Lying right next to the discarded undergarments is a little booklet with the words “The Path To Jesus” inscribed on the front.
I saw something funny on the way to work yesterday, funny wierd not funny haha. There was a car on the side of the bridge with great big clouds of black smoke and flames coming out of the windows. That wasn’t the wierd part, although I don’t see that everyday. No, the wierd part was that the driver, or the person that I am assuming to be the driver, was sitting on the hood of the vehicle talking on a cell phone as if nothing unusual was happening. Hopefully he wa calling the fire dept. or the cops or something.
I once saw a guy brushing his teeth in his car on the way to work. He was in a suit and tie AND WAS USING TOOTHPASTE thankyouverymuch. I s’pose he spit in a coffee cup or something.
You and I must have seen the same guy! I saw the first one of those this morning. Looked like his toothbrush was one of those battery-powered ones, too. I just don’t get it. WAKE UP 2 FRICKIN’ MINUTES EARLIER AND BRUSH YOUR TEETH AT THE SINK, DUDE!
My first winter after moving to the Twin Cities from California, on a cold (below freezing) morning, I passed under an overpass where there was a guy standing stark naked except for a green knit cap. I told my co-workers about this when I got to work and they said, “Must have been a Packers fan.”
This was on capitol hill, about a block up the street from the capitol itself, and patrolled constantly by a bunch of big guys with guns. I don’t think anyone who was making trouble or was in trouble themselves would have gotten very far without being noticed.
In response to your second point:
blows raspberry
I’ve seen it spelled both ways, and it always sounded to me like they were saying TeleTron - 1. Maybe I should find out where Optimus Prime is stationed and ask him
Well, presumably they didn’t get very far. But, in general, naked or semi-naked people would probably get some extra attention, but I doubt the entire capitol police force would show up and tackle the guy (or girl). There were some topless protesters at Union Station not too long ago and there were just a couple of cops standing on either side sort of giggling to themselves.
Um, I’m jobless, so I can’t see funny things on the way to work. But I’ll participate anyway.
I was walking down the beach with a friend of mine, and stopped to check something out. Then we notice an old guy sitting on the beach. He gets up to talk to my friend. He’s wearing a shirt, no pants whatsoever, and carrying a knife. Happily, after quizzing my friend a bit, he wandered off.
Ooooh, I’ve been dying for a reason to tell this story! At the gym the other morning there was a PA announcment for John Smith to come to the front desk. 30 seconds later a little old man comes out of the men’s locker room dripping wet wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. I couldn’t help but giggle. That guy is obviously very comfortable at the gym.
On my way to work, a few years back, I watched the car in front of me make a right-hand turn and the driver fell out of the car! :eek:
The car just coasted on down the street until it ran into the curb & eventually stopped. I pulled over and got the girl to her feet - she’d broken her arm and the car had run over her foot.
I can’t even imagine how she explained that one to her friends and family.
Huh. Strange. The other day on my way home from work, I saw a peahen. (Female peacock.) But here’s the thing- I was driving right through the middle of the business district, and this large bird was just strolling around on the lawn of an abandoned Denny’s. No farms for miles, 4 lanes of traffic, and these birds are not good fliers. I had to share this weirdness with others, so at the red light I turned off the music and yelled out the window, “Hey, everyone! Look at that big bird!” and pointed. A few people looked and one guy two cars up leaned out his window and yelled “Holy shit! What the hell is that thing?” So I yelled back, “I think it’s a peahen!”. Then the light changed and we all drove on.
Actually, Skeezix, that was akin to my first thought. Which was more along the lines of, uh, oh, the Rapture happened, and I’m still here. Now what do I do?
My dad and some colleagues were driving down the Eisenhauer expressway in Chicago. A naked lady jumped off an overpass into traffic. And no one hit her. I think she lived.
