The Bird

"The Bird"

The other day I was on my way home from work
when the most remarkable thing happened.
Traffic was heavy as usual, and as I sat there
at a red light, out of nowhere a bird slammed
into my windshield. If that wasn't bad enough,
the poor creature got its wing stuck under the
windshield wiper.

Just then the light turned green and there I was
with a bird stuck on my windshield. Without any
other apparent options, turning on the windshield
wipers seemed the only thing to do. It actually worked.

On the upswing, the bird flew off, and here is the
crazy thing... it slammed right onto the windshield
of the car behind me. No, it didn't get caught under
the windshield wipers of that vehicle, but the car
behind me was a police car.

Of course, knowing my luck, immediately the lights
went on and I was forced to pull over. The officer
walked up and told me he saw what had happened
at the light. Trying to plead my case fell on deaf ears.

He simply stated: I am going to have to write you up
for flipping me the bird.
