The Karma GOD-DOG
We have an elderly neighbor -- I try to help her out where I can. I notice her dog is loose. I try to catch her [the dog] while running out the door to go to rehearsal. I can't, so I ring the bell to let her [the neighbor] know that 1. the dog was loose and 2. my fat-ass couldn't catch her [the dog], but I tried.
Consequently, I'm even LATER for rehearsal.
I drive out the road following another car and next thing I know -- there's a flashing light following me.
Dammit.
I pull over. Copper goes thru his routine.
Dammit.
Clocked me doing 41 in a 25 mph zone.
Dammit.
I tell him I'm late for murder mystery rehearsal where I'm the ONE who gets killed. BUT -- I'm really LATE because I was trying to help my elderly neighbor catch her dog.
Dammit.
I cried.
Dammit.
He gave me a WRITTEN warning, which, he added, was sloppy 'cause he knew I was late [how nice!] instead of a $200 ticket and 4 points on my license. [Incredibly NICE!!]
Karma GOD-DOG.
In his honor -- I died TWICE* today.
Personally?
I think he knew I could fight it by knowing that there was a car in front of me going the same speed.
I was just the one who pulled over.
Dammit.
*Once in rehearsal, once during the performance.
