The Sign Said 45MPH (that's all)

I get to see alot of strange things living in SoCal. Not just the chrome plated posermobiles, or to steal a quote; the basket people that walk around and mumble. I've seen plenty of arguements with thin air, telephone poles, doors and street signs.
The family and I were waiting for the signal to change befor getting onto the freeway to come back from the San Diego area yesterday. There was a man on the sidewalk who was having a heated discussion with a 45mph sign mounted on a pole set into the concrete. Strange, but only a little.
This is when the sign must have said something that REALLY pissed this guy off. Trying to strangle a road sign is one thing, then this guy is climbing up the pole and looked as though he was trying to yank the top portion off the pole altogether. Well you can't dangle too long hanging on to the edges of the sheet metal for very long. He drops off and launches another verbal assault.
At this point the guys lady friend(?) walks over from an adjacent parking lot and gets this guy to start following her back to her car. He gets about half way there( 15' ) and swings around on his heels, starts screaming something at this sign again. But now this poor road sign is getting the bird too. Its at this point that we decide there HAS to be sombody that this nut is directing all this abuse at. But no. Or at least that any of us can see. The lady walks back to pull this guy to the car now, birds blazing at both hands now. She gets him over to the side of the car now and walks around to get in the drivers side. This guy bolts!
He runs about 20' back towards the sign and starts yelling at it AGAIN. He spins around and ... NO, He's not. What th...
DAMN! This guy is much more than a plumber!
Broad daylight, busy intersection and this guy's mooning the road sign. We're talking a big ol full, count the brown hairs on his white butt type moon! The guys pants are around his ankles, he's bent over,hopping up and down, looses his ballance and falls over. The light turns green, My sons girl friend yells " We did NOT just see that guy do that"! There were five of us in the car, it really did happen. Really!
If any of you are going on the SoCal Deep Creek run next week end, I'm sure that Ethan will fill in any of the finer details I may have missed. I'm not sure, but I think somebody got a hair count! LOL!

:wow:
 
That was great...

It reminds me of what happened to me a couple months ago. I was driving through the "industrial" side of Fresno on a 4 lane road (2 east & 2 west) with no divider except a double yellow line down the center. For those that are familure with Fresno this was on west Barstow Ave. I look up ahead & a girl looking to be in her late 20's strolls through traffic to the center dividing line. Drops her drawers & starts to water the center line. Cars are litteraly a few feet from her flying by at 40-50mph. Where do these people come from & what the hell are they thinking. To this day I can't believe I saw that.

hmmm to add to the stories... good couple years ago I was driving on the freeway when I got cut of (really badly to the point that I had to slam on the brakes and swerve hard not to hit them) by 4 girls in a wrangler (and no... it's not a jeep thing!). THose that know me and heard my horn will affirm to the fact that unless I am really tired the evasion maneuver will be synchronized with an automatic horn action and boy do I have a horn!!!! I got half a fog horn (as in one trumpet with it's own compressor... it came off a boat and there is a looong story behind why I'm running one of those... anyways it's got a deep tone and the trumpet is about a foot long and hidden in my bumper).

Anyways, getting back to my story... the reason I use the horn ussually is to avoid a collison (sometimes peopel forget themselves... one time I woke someone up when they fell asleep and started drifting back and forth in front of me: I saw the head bob sideways/back before I honked... as I did... it straightened up) and to make people realize that they have done something wrong and they should think about this next time (someone peopel have a hard time realizing the impact on others). Anyways the result is that the two girls in the back seat stood up and mooned me before really speeding up and dissapearing ahead....... and as that happened, it was the second time that day that I almost got into an accident ! :D

Only in SoCal....

I wonder what he was smoking and popping!
I did see something interesting in Nashville. Just south of the Titans stadium I65 and I24 spit just before crossing I40. Right there in the divider was a gal trying to thumb a ride. Right thumb stuck out and left hand holding up her blouse (no bra and NICE knockers). I'll bet she didn't have to wait long! :D Danno
 
Hey Kejtar, those two girls that mooned you, did the carpet match the drapes :D
 
From what I can see here is...

...one of ya needs glasses.

...one of ya drives too fast.

I stepped outside last night, couldn't help but notice that the moon was full. LOL! The one in the sky.
My wife deals with the public at her job, and she swears that when the moon is full, all the freak grow fangs and crawl out of the cracks.


:wierd:
 
If you don't know why I was yelling at the sign you shouldn't judge me! I was just walking by.....having just taken my mother-in-law to the detox center...when it started making comments about my welding!!!! That hateful little turd has always had it out for me...enough was enough!!
