Road Rage Again

Posted in Georgia History, Religion, Undogegorized, War by chamblee54 on September 4, 2013








A slack blogger was driving down Button Gwinnett Drive, minding his own business. When he got to the light at Best Friend Road, an SUV pulled up in the neighboring lane. “You need to drive faster. The speed limit is forty, not thirty. Yea, go ahead and smile, I’ll kick your fucking teeth in.”

Button Gwinnett was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Less than a year later, he was in a dispute with Lachlan McIntosh. The gentlemen decided to settle the matter with dueling pistols, with fatal consequences for Mr. Gwinnett. PG was wondering if modern life was going to imitate history. The light turned green, and the SUV went forward, at an undetermined rate of speed.

A listener to this tale made the comment “no G-d no peace, know G-d know peace.” This is the spoken word, so the spelling is a guess. PG had the same reaction to this comment that he did to the angry young SUV speed racer. Say nothing, and avoid complicating discussion. Religion has been a source of misery for PG. Is this because of G-d, or the golden calf religions that man has instituted? Sometimes the best answer is to turn left when the light is green.

    I usually turn right. Less traffic to worry about that way…

    I keep a shiny chromed plastic badge in my wallet for those situations.

    I just reach in my pocket and flip it open and show it to the offending party, and drive off.

    Once, I got a gentleman who to give back a cell phone he stole from a friend’s car parked in the driveway using this method.
