Doritos and Smirnoff
So, you're on your way to visit your old college pals. It's gonna be quite a night on the town!
You get on the interstate highway. You're speeding along at 70... 75... 80... SLAM!!!
You hit a huge traffic backup. Oh, crap! Well, it shouldn't take that long. Your exit is only one mile up the road. Traffic should be moving, even if it is very slow, right? Maybe 10 minutes. 15 tops.
20 minutes later, you haven't moved a centimeter! You turn on the radio to check the traffic report. "Traffic is stand-still for miles. There was a huge accident involving 10 vehicles, including 2 large trucks."
Ok, so you're gonna be there for a while.
What would you do? Get up off my feet and stop makin' tired excuses... Oh wait... that's a song... Nevermind that. So, do you:
A. Crank up the music, honk your horn, make mean faces to your fellow drivers, grumbling, "Stupid people and their stupid accidents. How dare they mess up my night?!"
B. Turn off the car, open the windows, and enjoy the afternoon breeze. Might as well make the best of this.
C. Praise God that you had Doritos stashed in the back seat! At least you won't starve to death!
D. Or even better! You had some Smirnoff back there too! Might as well party while you're missing the real party.
E. Get out and make pleasant conversation with the other nosey drivers who have gotten out of their cars to check if they can see the accident. You share theories of how long this will take.
Tell it like it is!

id strip naked and jump on the roof of my car and dance around.
if that doesnt get traffic moving... i don't know what will...
:)
lol, what a funny ? this is!!
first of all, you should NOT drink the Smirnoff. though, it may sound nice to party in your car, once traffic gets going, you'll be drunk, and cause another accident, and people will then HATE YOU!
as for me... can i combine different ideas? Open the windows, listen to music, while munching doritos. then, when my bones get too stiff from sitting around, i'd get out to chat with others.
Great idea...although that only lasted so long last year on my road trip with friends from Toronto to Montreal which took 11 hours instead of the normal 5-6 hours and at one point we had moved only 10 miles in 4 hours!!! A huge accident had closed the highway and created a 30mile backup!!! No amount of Smirnoff could help get through that.
I'd say answer E.
Then I'd wonder why I used the term "centimeter" instead of inch. Are we metric-ized folk rubbing off on you Americans??? ;-)
The centimeter thing was just for you, Dairn!
I hate to admit it... But I'd probably do A. At least, for the first few minutes of it.
I know drinking and driving don't mix... So maybe I'd just lick the bottle. Maybe that would give me a buzz.
