Beware the Man Who is Too Close to His Emu

[annundriel]

On the way to Ephrata today, Mom and I got caught behind a small white car going a bit under the speed limit and swerving all over. When we first started following him, he had his arm stuck out the window. Before we got too close, Mom asked, "Is that an ostrich? That's a very large fist he has." After awhile, he pulled his arm back in. But first we determined that no, it wasn't an ostrich, it was an emu. And that this emu was the cause for all of the swerving. A reasonable assumption. After all, it must be distracting to have an emu in your small white car.

After we passed the freeway, he got behind a small blue car, also swerving. The slowly swerved their way to the highway, at which point they stopped at the stop sign (like you do). Blue car crossed the intersection, white car followed. Without stopping.

MOM: Nice STOP. Bastards.
ME: Fuckers. ::takes sip of soda::
MOM: Emu fuckers.
ME: ::dies::

We laughed so hard we cried. Then everyone behind us on the highway wondered why we were swerving all over the place.

I blame the emus.
