I am one lucky sonofabitch.
I was pulled over by a cop yesterday for speeding. He said I was doing 19 mph over the speed limit in a residential area. I thought I was going to get an expensive piece of paper for sure. The cop let me off with a warning, and I was shocked.
The Idiot part of my brain suggested that we inform the cop that 19 mph over the speed limit in a residential area was significant enough to warrant a citation on my infraction. Common Sense than slapped Idiot part and instructed me to thank the officer and to drive away SLOWLY. Good thing part of my brain was with it. I hate it when Common Sense decides to take the day off.
I had a lot of interesting calls at work over the past 4 days. Nothing really strange, except for the lady who let her cat talk to me. I also got to help a father who called from Indiana to get info for his daughter's report on the climate of Washington State. Internet? Google? Anybody?
The Internet: It's not just for porn anymore.
I also got asked to give certain meteorological conditions for places in the Seattle area that I haven't heard of. When I informed the caller that I don't know where that place is, it provoked reactions of shock, and in some, disgust. I know us Weathermen like to think we know all, but the sad truth is, we don't (as our forecasts indicate). After the expression of shock and/or disgust, they asked if I was from around the area. I stated that I am originally from Iowa, which led to certain responses:
1. The Nice Response "Oh, well you should visit (location). It's (cool, fun, etc..)"
2. The Sympathetic Response "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
3. The Unsympathetic Response "You need to get your head out of the corn and visit (location)!"
In closing, I'd like to inform those who gave the Sympathetic and Unsympathetic responses that I switched the Smiling Sunny Face in your forecasts with the Big Frowny Cloud Face that has little drops falling underneath it.
Enjoy the weather, you fuckers.
