Also if you are gonna have a skeleton ride shotgun. Get a full one. No disguising it. Just set it up like a normal passenger and enjoy the reactions from the normals as that is way better fun than trying to cheat your way into the HOV lanes.
If this is the weirdest thing that happened in Zonie Land that day, well that’s a good day, indeed.
No seatbelt violation? That bungee cord isn’t going to protect Skeletor at highway speeds!
Poor Skeletor… he was just trying to do his bit for the environment by carpooling with a co-worker… looks like he got the short end of the stick yet again!
“He wasn’t like that when we left, officer!”
I would have declared religious freedoms as a Necromancer-American.
When I an adjunct at a community college, they asked me to teach a class that started at 6:30 pm. I said, “only if you get me an inflatable doll!” and they seemed very taken aback.
I live in Portland OR and the college is across the river in WA. The only bridge is Interstate 5, which has an HOV lane at rush hour. Without a passenger, I could leave at 4 pm and get there by 6, or I could leave at 6 and get there a bit past 6:30. I’d tried it for one term, and wasn’t about to do it again.
One advantage of being a ordinary-seeming white middle-aged woman is that I can entertain myself by startling people with strange remarks. (I did explain to them why I’d – in an alternate universe – do it with a doll.)
“My buddy here started off just sick but I’ve been driving around looking for an in-network healthcare provider.”
I’d forgotten about that! Robot chicken was/is awesome.
Probably it causes brain damage, but it is soooo funny!
In Arizona, you get off easy with a ticket. Had the trooper been able to discern the skeleton’s original skin color…
“No, officer. He’s just dying to get to work.”
And put the skeleton in the driver seat. Let him get the ticket.
Tired of turning into a skeleton on your daily commute?
Take the train and avoid the deadly specter of the forever traffic jam…
