The Thursday Commute- Edition #2

Welcome to the 2nd installment of my weekly post- The Thursday Commute...where I relate some of the strange things my coworker Laura and I see on the road.

Rush Hour Italian- Well, this isn't something we saw so much as heard...Laura purchased a "Learn Italian" CD thinking it would be something like hear a sentence and repeat it. It's more like these silly songs...you'd think it was a children's cd! Anyway, the songs are hilarious...about a busy professional in the shower, going to work, and being busy. Quite entertaining...

Coat-hanger Antenna- We drove past a man who had apparently lost his antenna and stuck a coat hanger in it's place. The coat hanger wasn't even straightened out...it was still in it's original form.

Maxine- We had a Maxine spotting on Wednesday morning. (Refer back to last week's Thursday Commute for info on Maxine).

Clown Man- I understand that clowns probably have to drive to their party/destination in full make-up and costume...but it's a bit creepy to drive past one on Route 50!

Kiss Man- And finally, the best of the past week, Kiss Man. On Friday afternoon as we were headed to Annapolis in the HOV lane, Laura looked over and noticed this man trying to stay even with us in the lane beside us. I glanced over at him and he smiled. I didn't smile back. He looked kinda creepy. He drifted behind us, caught back up and blew us a kiss. We started to laugh. He drifted back again, and then ended up beside us 5 minutes later. This time, he stuck his tongue out at us in a lewd manner. Neither of us particularly appreciated that, so we sped up considerably and got away from him...as we were hysterically laughing!

Well, that's this week's installment of The Thursday Commute. Remember, unless you're stuck in traffic, there are few dull moments on Route 50 if you're paying attention!
