(Almost) Run over by a Redneck

Road rage. From silent insults to verbal and physical assaults, road rage affects all drivers. I wish to share a particularly funny (and frightening) incident of road rage that happened to me.

I was driving back from Zack's house at about 10:30pm on the Saturday of memorial day's weekend when a small white truck pulled out behind me and started riding my tail. He wasn't just tailgating me but riding so close I couldn't see his headlights in my rear view mirror. The roads were curvy and I didn't want to get in a wreck because of some idiot so I slowed down to 35-40. Apparently this only infuriated Mr. White Mitsubishi, so he proceeded to pass me on a double yellow while flipping me off. I wasn't surprised. I already knew he was an idiot, I just didn't know how much so.

He passed me, flipped me off and Logan and I laughed at this retard. Then, my shirtless, redneck friend slowed down to around 20mph and repeatedly flipped me off while staring out the window back at me. Kinda creepy. Logan and I laughed again because obviously this guy had to get somewhere important, which was why he slowed down to flip me off and show me what a tough guy he was.

Being the safe driver I am, I pulled off onto a side road in order to diffuse the situation. But apparently the freaker in the white mitsubishi decided he had more to stay. I pulled onto the road and found that he had turned around to come back for more. He pulled into my lane in order to block me off so he could have his say (or start a fight or who knows what). Anyway, I pulled onto the shoulder and went around him before gunning it all the way home. My car was not made for a 90mph high speed chase. However, it got the job done and he was unable to pursue me because of my amazing driving skills. Once I got around him I floored it and saw him trying to turn around to chase me down. Again, fortunately he appeared to have some trouble turning around and I was gone in no time.

So yeah, just thought I'd share that. So, be careful of other drivers, especially drunk rednecks.

Analogies

Those who know me know that I love analogies. Analogies makes funny things funnier. They add emphasis. They help make difficult points clearer.

Anyway, here's an analogy I was pondering over. Last night Logan and I gave a combined lesson on the Holy Ghost. Logan explained some of the roles of the Holy Ghost (comforter, guide, etc). I tried to explain the gift of the Holy Ghost.

In my lesson I was trying to explain how the gift of the Holy Ghost is both a gift and conditional at the same time. The power of the Holy Ghost is different than only having the gift of the Holy Ghost. I was having a rough go of it, but I thought of a good analogy to make my point.


Let's say someone gave you a HUGE entertainment system. A 67" HDTV with BOSE surround sound---the whole 9 yards. So you get this awesome gift. Yet you don't have a single power outlet in the entire house. So you already have the gift, but no power to use it. So that's how the Holy Ghost is both a gift and conditional.

Also, if you haven't seen the funniest birthday video in the world, you should check it out.
