So.. I had a really weird dream this morning.
I found myself driving our SUV. But I wasn't JUST driving the SUV. I was driving it.. BACKWARDS! And not just backwards in the regular sense, I was driving with my back to the drivers seat going forward, with these two long wooden pedals connected to the gas and the break. I also had a steering wheel! On top of that, I was on the phone with someone. Aren't I talented?
So I was driving along, talking on the cell phone, not paying attention, and I approach a stop sign with several cars. Well, I didnt have enough time to stop and not hit them, so I had to swerve into the other lane, and I ended up turning around the corner and parking there thinking "Oh shit. That was bad." Great thing was, I was RIGHT next to a police station. So they saw me. I waited there as two of them got in a squad car, drove one block, and pulled over right behind me. By the time they had come over I had put away my phone and gotten in my seat the right way.
"So, you know you were going 30 in a 25 mph zone, right?" "Sorry, wasn't looking at the speed. Isn't that legal though?" "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S LEGAL, DON'T YOU TELL ME!". So then all of a sudden we ended up in an alley and then he let me go. So I drove home thinking I will never drive backwards and talk on my cell phone again.
A valuable lesson was learned today..
