In this morning’s newspaper, there was a big photo of a mannequin sitting in the front seat on the passenger’s side of a car. The story is that the owner of the car was putting the dummy in the front seat so as to drive in the HOV lane of the LIE!
The dummy’s chauffeur would dress the dummy every morning according to weather conditions, sunglasses, baseball caps, scarves, coats etc.
There was one guy who had a cardboard cutout in his front seat, and as he went by the policeman in a patrol car, started to act very animated, like he was talking to the cutout.
Without sounding insensitive, the dummy in the HOV looked like he had HIV! The dummy was somewhat thin with this pain stricken face and it looked like it could hardly move. I know that that is what dummies do or don’t do, but you do have to fool the police. When the policeman caught the driver, the driver said somewhat sheepishly that he was only trying to get to work every morning, and if you know the traffic habits of the LIE, you can sympathize with him.
My question is why the cop stopped this dummy that wasn’t driving; he should be stopping all the dummies that were driving through the years when I went out in rush hour traffic.
There are phone users, newspaper readers, book readers, makeup artists, hair combers, shavers, semi-dancers who make a big show of how obnoxious they really are, and my favorite is the moron that does neck exercises at ten miles an hour taking forever to move from a stopped position in traffic. Let’s not forget the guy that teases his hair while looking into the rear view mirror.
Rather than fine this guy, they should give him money for keeping one less dummy from behind the wheel.
