Since that wonderful day I've come to learn a very valuable lesson about being on fire; After it's happened, everything else in life just isn't anywhere near as exciting.
Take casual conversation:
While stopped at a fuel station to get a soda and a bit to snack on while coming to Lubbock I had to roll the winders down for the doggies, then get out and lock it. A random lady who happened to witness this thought she'd ask why I bothered locking the doors when the back windows were down. The appropriate answer would have been:
"Well, Makenzie, the big black dog back there, knows how to open the car door. Buddy, the grey one, knows how to unlock the doors. They team up and get out. If I lock the doors from the outside, with the master key, BMW has made it to where the car can not be unlocked from the inside."
Was that what I told her? No. Opposed to that, in my quest for a little more excitement, I pointed behind her, screamed "oh my god", and ran towards the men's room pulling my hair.
Next, lets examine truck stop men's rooms:
Let me start by telling you that if you have never ran into a men's room, occupied by four men at the sinks either shaving or brushing their teeth, while screaming and pulling your hair, you should. The expression I recieved from four rather rabbid, in appearance, men, one of which now bleeding, was absolutely priceless. In fact I will now make it a point to enter all men's rooms in such a fashion "just in case".
Lastly, though I couldn't act on this as I lacked at least four other reasonably eccentric people, while washing my hands, beside the guy now trying to control his bleeding, I noticed a man walk into one of the stalls, stay a moment, exit and enter another stall, and repeat, through 4 different stalls. By the time he finally sat down to do his thinking, I had just about gotten over there to him to start singing a musical chairs tune in case he'd come back out. It would have been great to have 4 more people so when he walked to change stalls again I could have "stopped the music" and kicked him out of the men's room for being a wuss.
Oh and I think that lady in parking lot called the cops... :dunno_white:
Mak... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... you just made my morning...
You could always take up lighter tricks if screaming gets too dull...
