How much of our lives would be better if we lived by these words?
A few weeks ago I was driving down the highway on my way back from the store. There seemed to be some traffic backed up on the opposite side and knowing how absolutely horrible the drivers are around here, with a general lack of defensive driving or even basic merging ability, my first thought was, “what the hell’s going on here?”
Then I spotted the problem: there was a car stopped to the side of the road, still halfway in the lane, and walking around it was a naked man. He was walking around the front of his car and had picked something up off the road. But the truly amazing thing is, he didn’t seem to be that upset about it!
So it made me wonder, since he seems so calm about it… is this a normal day for him? You’d think it’d be a day he remembers for the rest of his life. Maybe whatever circumstances led to being naked on the road, once he was there he figured he might as well man up and own it. And he did.
I try to make this site more appealing with video and photos. Luckily for you, I was driving and didn’t have time to take either.
