Member my “trip from hell“? Where I eventually became the gallumphing Muppet giant from The Muppet Movie? (Yes. I know my trip from hell ended with a woman barking like a dog on the runway … but it began with a bus accident on the highway.)
I have been summoned as a witness in the court case … or … someone must be suing the bus company? I have no idea. My court date is next week. I guess I have a guilty conscience – because the summons came in the mail, and I literally immediately assumed that I had done something HORRIBLE. My immediate assumption was: Well, CLEARLY I am guilty of SOMETHING.
I’m an idiot. Thanks, years of Catholic guilt – thanks a lot!!
I felt this bolt of GUILT shiver through my soul … and fear and self-loathing became paramount. hahaha Sheila: don’t you think you would KNOW if you had done something so wrong that you get a court summons???
Maybe I should submit that original blog post as Exhibit A.
Mwahahaha. You’re so busted.
God forbid I am ever falsely accused of a crime. I will admit to it immediately.
you probably don’t need the extra stress with your play going on! have a cold Beamish if you need to calm down…. :)
Maybe, just maybe, one of the men on the bus thought you were gorgeous (like we all do) and came up with a way to meet you again!
=0)
easycure – hahahaha
Now THAT would be a patient (and midly insane) man.
“Patient” AND “mildly(sp?) insane”… sounds like a good husband (at least according to my wife… I got the insane part down, although my wife thinks that I’ve got my obsessions priorities misplaced, but the patient part? Forget about it!)
“I got the insane part down” hahahahaha
I am not MILDLY insane. I am OPENLY and JOYFULLY insane. Would that make me a good wife? I think not.
Also. I’m not patient AT ALL.
Definitely need a patient husband – you know, balance things out and all that.
What are you going to wear to court? Something that shows a little leg, I hope. You never know, Sheila. Lawyers. Straight. Attractive. Get your groove on bi-atch.
Wow, a civil suit that actually gets to trial? There’s something you don’t see every day. I’d guess it means either the case really is very close, or one of the parties is refusing to see reality and settle. Either way, sounds interesting, so enjoy.
“God forbid I am ever falsely accused of a crime. I will admit to it immediately.”
Did you ever see the episode of Blackadder where he gets kidnapped by the Spanish Inquisition? I’m reminded of him saying “I want to make it as clear as possible from the outset that I am prepared to tell you ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.” ;-)
dave j- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HILARIOUS!!
I have no idea what to expect at ‘the trial’.
Here’s the deal: we were in a huge bus. There were 10 passengers. The bus driver went too close to a cop car and ripped off the rear view mirror.
That’s IT. No injuries … nothing …
Do you think it could be like that moment in The Brady Bunch where the guy is pretending to wear a neck brace and then – in the middle of court – Mr. Brady throws a book on the floor, and the guy turns his head and looks … blowing his cover?
What on earth do they need me for? I mean, the cop did take all of our names and addresses … so obviously something was going on … but it seems weird to me.
I’d print out the blog entry for sure and take it with you. It’s almost like cops’ notes made at the scene – done right after while your memory was fresh. Anyway, it will make them laugh! Well, the airport part anyway – that was priceless.
I get that same feeling of unease/guilt whenever I receive a missive from the state tax department. But invariably it’s a notice to let me (and all the other tax collectors on file) know that there is going to be a temporary moratorium on sales tax for children’s shoes, coats, or somesuch.
And it is a complete waste of time, effort, and money because… I DO NOT SELL THOSE ITEMS!
