What are the odds?
An Unforgettable Weekend
by damommy
One Friday back in 1988, I was on my way to visit a friend in Shreveport, Louisiana. There I was, tooling along the freeway in a line of much larger cars. The radar gun must have liked my little red 1986 Chevrolet Sprint because it picked us out of a whole line of cars. I was third back in the line.
I asked the state trooper who pulled me over how I could be going faster than the car in front of me. I’d have been on top of it. He was not amused.
After being wished to have a good day (sure ‘nuff), I drove on to Shreveport. I found my friend’s apartment complex and pulled into a parking slot. I didn’t have any reason to see my car until I planned to go home on Sunday.
Come Sunday morning, I went to load up my car and found it gone! Oh, goodness. What now? Finally tracking it down, it had been impounded because I’d parked in the wrong place.
Now, to add insult to injury, it had a flat tire.
Once on my way with an empty wallet, I thought, "What are the odds of anyone having such a weekend?"
