A funny thing happened to me today when driving into work – and well of course the result was that my mind wandered into avenues of weirdness that not even I comprehend fully.

A funny thing happened to me today when driving into work (and no, I wasn’t attacked by a group of naked pigmy clowns riding purple poodles). I was idling at the traffic lights when I became suddenly alerted by a strange beeping noise the car engine was making. Immediately thoughts of dread and despair filled my mind…the pistons are beeping and about to explode, the crank shaft is beeping and about to explode, the god damn sump is beeping and about to explode. I then realised in stupid relief it was the friggen pedestrian beeper thingy to let deaf people know when to cross the road. I then thought to myself why the heck do they make a beeper thingy for deaf people? They can’t even hear it! Deaf people can just use the little pedestrian light thingy instead. They would be better off making a beeper thingy for blind people, but then they are friggen blind aren’t they – they have no business crossing the road – it’s friggen dangerous. For deaf people they should instead make a big boot that comes out of the traffic light pole and kicks them in the arse when it’s time to cross the road. People are so friggen stupid. I looked to the cosmic consciousness for answers to the obvious stupidity and found none – an ethereal contractor had cut the main line to the cosmic consciousness and my mobile phone did not have enough battery power to establish a backup path via my Bluetooth connection.
 

It then occurred to me – I shouldn’t have to be thinking about these things myself. It is beyond me singularly to fix the world’s problems and I needed a group of extraordinary peers with which to discuss these issues…and there is much to discuss. For instance, it is of paramount importance that we know regarding the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that if when it is finally activated and half the world disappears into a singularity – what would happen to planet earth? Assuming mass and energy is conserved, the earth should remain in orbit around the sun as it currently does; but would it spin as normal or would the half earth and the earth singularity orbit each other in a cosmic dance of bizzarness. With the earth core exposed would the core then cool down…would the magnetic field then collapse and would we then be fried by the cosmic rays of the sun? BUT what if mass and energy is not conserved, and half of the earth is transported into a parallel dimension? What would happen then? I think that since momentum has been reduced we would be sucked into the sun, and not flung off into deep space towards Nibiru. I can’t make this determination alone – I need a group of extraordinary peers.

    OMG…that is just insane…insanely funny! And jeez, that must have been a long traffic light. I’m gonna sit back and see what suggestions the womenfolk offer you, Bruce. lol

    That fallout from women, and the Godiva Chocolatiers, could lead to an eternal winter in the Duffey household; Benny Hill, however, is rolling over with laughter, if he isn’t lurking about traffic lights, wielding a blind-booter boot.

    That chocolate bit was disgusting. The rest of the piece was funny and very entertaining.

  • Bo Russo on Mar 30, 2009

    God Bruce,too too funny!!!

  • Elizabeth Abbott on Mar 30, 2009

    Interesting.

  • Cassandra Antares on Mar 30, 2009

    for some reason, I see the humor is this piece,, heheehe

  • Fresh Writing on Mar 30, 2009

    Ha! Bruce, you think of weird things when you’re driving…Nonetheless, I couldn’t stop laughing…your individual mind ponders the most unusually funny things.

    Thank you so much for sharing-I will, upon your permission, stumble this and forward it onto other friends.

    Hilarious piece!

  • Fegger on Mar 31, 2009

    Man are you plugged-in…I can just picture you at the traffic light with a foil hat sitting next to a Koala in drag. I love this mind!

  • Samantha J T on Mar 31, 2009

    After your thoughts Ive had a thought. Do you think these thoughts are contagious, are they some kind of mental illness. Can you get a mental illness from a traffic light? Who invented the traffic light? How long must you have been at the traffic light? How many traffic lights are there in the world? Why does your eyes go blurry when you stare at a traffic light? Is this traffic light trying to tell me something? I think its angry its turned red!

    Great article!

  • spiritwalker on Mar 31, 2009

    I would love to go where your mind does…is there room for one more?

  • clay hurtubise on Apr 1, 2009

    I thought the beeps were for BLIND folks…?
    Now the chocolate idea, perhaps a pill could be invented!
    Thanks,
    Clay

    LMAO so gross but so funny!

    The beeping is for BLIND people, not DEAF people you thick twat

  • Duff D Moss on Apr 11, 2009

    Oh 11778 – you poor deluded fool. We don’t let blind people cross the road here because as I said it is too dangerous. They can’t see the cars and the seeing eye dogs chase the cars. Have you ever seen a blind person being dragged down the road at 60km chasing cars – it is totally degrading for them.

    Perhaps in the motherland you don’t care for the blind like we do – that is a shame – the blind are people too you know.

  • XXElleXX on Apr 8, 2010

    Ha! Hehehehahaha .. get that into ya 11778!! I love chocolate .. and I don’t mind the taste of s—n .. “..That women demand a daily serving of chocolate straight from the pump..” ~ 2nd wish .. the pump should come with a rolling pearl bead insert [which makes the pump feel like it has a pulse] .. 3rd wish .. and the pump should also have an extra 6 cm that will tickle the hard to reach erogenous zone :-)
