I had a bad start to my morning.
A big truck grazed the side of the car this morning. I was on the right of way, the right lane, it came out of nowhere & shoved our car aside. The damage is minimal. I have yet to tell the husband. I can imagine what his reaction would be. I wonder if he'll blame me. I hope not as it was not my fault. I stopped the car & the big truck stopped too. It was an apek & auntie. She insisted I turned out of nowhere. So I said it was a straight road, where could I possible turn from?? So they gave me a sad face & story about how they are making a hard-earned living earning less than 1000 per month. Mind you it was raining. I was going to school & the traffic was merciless. This was the last thing I need. So I asked for his particulars. They pleaded & refused to provide me. So I told them I'll take down the license plate number & since its a company truck, the other details too. Then they drove away. Leaving me, almost drenched. So till I reach home later, I am going around teaching with a heavy heart. Test of Ramadhan I believe. Then I read this, it made me feel slightly better. For now. at least...
Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!
JOHN MCCAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% .......... reboot.
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE: I invented the chicken!
LEE KUAN YEW: We have installed crossing lights at all traffic junctions. All chickens should be able to cross safely to the other side.
LEE HSIEN LOONG: Gantry points have been set up. All chickens wanting to cross the road are advised to top up their cash cards first.
ABDULLAH BADAWI: We have to be fair to all chickens. Some want to cross over the road, some do not. ........ Zzzzzz ........zzzzzz ....... Now what were we talking about? Ah yes, chickens. We will form a Royal Commission to decide whether it is right for them to cross the road.
MAHATHIR: Now even the non-bumi chickens want to cross the road? How can they disrespect and disregard the bumi chickens? We must be allowed to cross over first. It is our right!
ANWAR: We have enough chickens waiting to cross over in September.
SHAHRIR: All foreign chickens are welcome in Malaysia but they must not cross over the road within 50km of the border.
Wong Kan Seng: I am sorry that the chicken was allowed to cross the road. It was an HONEST MISTAKE. Let’s move on.
Funny I thought...
