Bumper story
I was driving to Annandale this morning to get my car fixed (brakes, tires, etc.), which I have been putting off for months. Finally, with travel looming, I decided today was the day.
Anyway, as I was driving along Little River Turnpike, a gentleman pulled up beside me a la the Grey Poupon commericals. He put down his window and said, “There’s something wrong with your car, honey.”
I looked at him quizically — what the hell else could be wrong with this two-year-old car?
“Someone went and put a Kerry bumper sticker on it!”
I laughed. “Imagine that!”
“Just thought you’d want to know about that — I didn’t think you’d actually want that on your car.”
We laughed and he speeded up as I made a right turn into the automotive place. He probably is a senator or representative or something like that, knowing this area of town. But I thoroughly enjoyed the moment, even if he is going to go and vote for Dubya and cancel out my vote! 😉
