Crossing The Bridge

"Crossing The Bridge"

Before our daughter went off to college, our family
took a vacation in Colorado, flying to Denver and
renting a car. We visited the Royal Gorge Bridge,
which is more than 1000 feet above the Arkansas River.

Walking out onto the bridge, I noticed it swayed in the
wind. Then a car went past us, and the wood-plank
roadway moved beneath my feet. "I don't think I want
to drive the car across this bridge," I finally said.

"What are you worried about?" our daughter replied. "It's a rental."

"The Bridge"

A friend and I were driving to the mall when we
came to a bridge under construction. The road
narrowed to one lane, with a red light at either
end. We stopped at the red light at on our side
and when it turned green we started up again.
Halfway through we met another car coming towards us.

The driver leaned out his window and shouted,
"I don't back up for idiots!"

Putting his car into reverse, my friend called back,
"No problem. I do."
