driving home last night i never saw a car, until those two that went speeding by on the highway. the ones with the enormous wacky spoilers and rims and tinted windows and that sometimes have a fire extinguisher inside (because, i assume, their cars are so frigging hot.).as i said, they sped by racing on christmas night, and i just marveled at how goddamned radical they were necka nd neck at breakneck speed. like the old codger that i am in my station wagon, i just remarked to myself that they will crash and die on christmas night.
god what a dick i am.
about 5 or so miles later i saw a lifeless body in the breakdown lane just over the white line of demarcation of the edge of the highway.
a body.
and off in the ditch beside the highway i saw one of the cars upside down. no occupants. i stopped, but i have not yet achieved the coolness which necessitates a cellular phone.
the person thrown from the car was dead.
i just waited for the police to show up, but someone stopped who had a cell phone and they called the police. i just told them that i didn't see the accident and they took my name and whatnot and i left.
some family somewhere is one family member less on the day after christmas.
but i don't feel bad about one less retarded souped-up import car driver zooming past me on the highway.
the second car never slowed down.
