Kevin\u2019s going to jail.<\/p>\n
Last night, as we were driving home, we pulled up to a red light. Kevin stopped and we noticed this really weird looking guy who was waiting to cross the street. He had a bag of cans and looked like your typical slightly crazy street person. I don\u2019t think he was totally sober because when Kevin pulled up to the light, the guy kind of jumped. Then he started yelling at Kevin.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, hey, you see that,\u201d he slurred, pointing in the generally vicinity of the cross walk. \u201cThat says WALK,\u201d he yelled. \u201cYou gotta let me walk!\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin and I just sat there, dumbfounded as the guy stopped in the middle of the street right in front of our car and began digging around in his bag of cans. It was clear he was upset with us. He was wearing an old army fatigue jacket and was missing most of his teeth. With stringy hair and wild eyes, he was quite scary looking as he rummaged through his bag. Kevin confided in me, later, that he was afraid the guy was going to pull out a gun. I thought he was looking for a bottle to hurl at us. But it turns out we were both wrong because he pulled this old flashlight out from his bag of cans and began shining it at us. First in our face, then over to the WALK sign which was now flashing DON\u2019T WALK. Back and forth, back and forth. I guess we didn\u2019t look sufficiently chastised because he put the flashlight down and pulled out a pencil and scrap of paper.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m gonna get your license plate!\u201d he yelled at us. \u201cYou\u2019re going to jail!\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, by this time, the light had turned green for us and the car behind us tried to pull around. Then they saw this guy standing in the middle of the road, waving his flashlight and stopped short. This, of course, made the guy mad and with his attention turned to the new car, Kevin pulled around him and drove off. I think we were speechless for a while trying to assimilate the strangeness of it all. The funny thing is, Kevin had stopped a good three feet behind the cross walk when he saw the guy crossing the street.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t decide yet if I should call the police and turn him in or not. Guess that depends on how big the reward is. Hee hee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
