So, the other day, I'm driving down the highway.
I'm in the left hand lane, because traffic is merging onto the highway at my right.
Being the alert driver that I am, I glance at the traffic merging next to me and see an ambulance. At about that instant, I also hear sirens.
I do what any proper law abiding citizen would, and pull over. Since I was in the left lane, I pull further left onto the shoulder, waiting for the ambulance to pass.
As this ambulance passes, I realize that they do not have their lights or sirens going.
I start to think I'm a little crazy. I'm fairly certain all the other traffic around me think I'm nuts...
Then I hear it. On the radio.
The commerical I'm listening to has a siren in the background.
Nice. Thank you for making me look like a moron because I was trying to do the right thing!
(On a side note: I apoligize for the lack of posts. This week has been horribly long and busy. I think I've finally got my head on straight - or at least back to normal.)
Oh, and Tom is working on a blog post too! Whoo-hoo!

I have a rule:
No rap music in my car.
Because if I freak out over another siren in a rap song while I'm driving, I will have to write the Wu-Tang Clan a scathing email telling them just what I think of them.
LMAO!!! That's too funny! Hey at least you didn't try to outrun the ambulance!
lol i have *almost* done the same thing
and i think the only reason I havent is that when I hear the siren and look around I don't see any emergency vehicles!
tom is doing OK? you getting enough sleep? Come have a cuppa java with me, I will make it all better
LMFAO!! Ahhh...God love ya. That's why I try not to do anything right. I'm good at it and also it keeps my image of "idiot" up. Just kidding, I probably would have done the same thing. Yep, pretty sure other people thought you were an idiot...good thing is that all of us KNOW you are. I mean aren't, no are. :o)
OMG!
You are so funny!
I would have been so annoyed when I figrued out that I did that but you know what I bet others do that all the time. :-)
Mist1 - I understand about rap music. This was a commerical, though! I'm about to outlaw them in my car too!
Elle - Next time I'll concider speeding up instead of pulling over!
BPR - This is the first time I was so tricked by the radio that I pulled over. Tom is doing alright. I'm super tired, but am getting caught up. Still waiting for the plane ticket to Canada...
Trisha - I know the people behind me had to be cussing. There was a whole bunch of traffic that day, of course.
Eliz - I've never seen anyone else pull over for an ambulance that doesn't have its lights or sirens going. But, if I ever do, I will nod my head understandingly.
FYI - Mom and I heard that same commercial with the sirens and both of us burst out laughing without even saying a word about it knowing that it HAD to be that commercial. LOL
