What A Honker...
Last night, the worship team went out to a play together (Cariboo Magi) at Pacific Theatre in Vancouver. It was a lot of fun as the characters were bold and colourful, and the theatre is small and intimate. If you ever get the chance, check them out because they always do a really good job.
Anyways, on our way to the theatre, Beth and I were driving through some heavy traffic due to construction, and at one point, all the cars were forced to take a detour off the main street. As the lineup of vehicles needed to make a left turn across traffic at an uncontrolled intersection, the flow was slow. However, I guess the lady behind us thought it would be helpful to keep honking at people who were not forcing their way through traffic. She would also routinely honk at, and finger, vehicles coming in the opposite direction who failed to allow traffic to pass in front of them. It got to be quite comical, as people in the other lane were looking around as if to say, "why is someone honking? Can't they see we're all stuck in traffic?" Then they would see her and she would finger them (or give them "half a peace sign," as my father-in-law once said). Beth and I were laughing at her consistency and insistency, as car after car bore her wrath.
Can you imagine if it actually helped her to honk and finger people? The traffic would part like the Red Sea, and she'd cross intersections unimpeded like the Israelites long before her. The only problem is that if Moses fingered Pharoah, it worked in reverse - the sea fell back in on him and his whole Egyptian army. But don't quote me on that, I may be reading into the text a bit. Peace dude....

Perhaps there was a logical explanation...
[ and if not, perhaps i will make one up :-) ! ]
...like, what if the lady was born with no index fingers, and she was honking because she was keeping beat with her 8-track player (Boxcar Willie's Greatest Hits)...it could have happened that way, right?
Right?
...right?...anybody?...hello?...
