Start rant

Am I the only person who knows the rules of the road?

Do not answer that. But really, some people just do not pay attention to anything but their cell phones when they drive.

Tonight, I was on my way – in a hurry and running late as usual – to the market for milk and mandarin oranges (don’t ask) when I had to stop for a red light. In the distance to my left, I could hear a police siren, so it was no surprise to see a cop car quickly approaching the intersection. His lights were flashing, siren blaring.

Can you guess what happened next? The light turned green – and not wanting to get T-boned by a fast moving police cruiser, I waited. The idiot directly across from me did not. He drove into the intersection and turned right in front of the police car.

No accident, but I read the lips of the police officer.

He did NOT mouth the words “Olive Juice.”***

End rant.

In the movie American Grafitti, Susanne Sommers mouths the words "Olive Juice" to Harrison Ford. It looks like she is saying "I love you" in a really sexy, come hither way. Tease.

That was obscure. Sorry. My point was that the officer said something more along the lines of "Goddam it" or worse. Hard to tell. My windows are tinted. :)
