Today I drove from my residence over to a potential job site. I do this just to see where the best route is, because it feels like a smart thing to do and I also rarely have anything better to do. I was sitting at a red light and trying to decipher the vanity plate in front of me (FSTNMBL; I guess Fast 'N' Mobile but it was an SUV, so maybe 'Fisting Mabel') when a woman started to walk into traffic from my left, across six lanes, to the other side. She was dragging a hand dolly behind her that looked to have two pristine green boxes and two Dr. Pepper-case-looking boxes on it. The only remarkable clothing on her was her biker/1940's fighter pilot goggles and her knee-high black rubber galoshes, which are both remarkable when you don't need to wear them. She would get mad as people had to suddenly stop to accommodate her, so she was constantly doing the 'jerk-off' hand motion to people. She was probably between 40 and 70, because being either homeless or insane really ages you I think.
HOMELESS OR INSANE? (OR BOTH??) (OR NEITHER???)
Goggles- Insane, it's not worth it to try and prep for a dust storm here and she probably doesn't own a biplane.
Galoshes - Homeless, it's always smart to prepare for the elements when you live outside. It had recently snowed.
Hand Dolly - Homeless, I like to think that the future's hobos will forgo the shopping cart or trash bags in favor of this. It's classy. When I'm a hobo (a future I can't truly eliminate) I will use a hand dolly. All the other hobos will marvel at the sleek form in which I carry my belongings and want to hang out, and then we'll start a band. Or I'll get shanked.
Pristine Boxes - Both, but it really depends on whats in them. I will not guess about it.
Jerk-off Hand Gesture - Neither, I see plenty of people do this and they're usually just stupid or being facetious.
