Word up

It's only funny when it happens to them.

The other day I was cruising along the street in my Tow truck. Mine is a large 2 ton truck with dual rear wheels, so I cover a lot of road. we had just had a fresh snow and around this place, within the first 4 hours of daylight it's usually slush. I was doing my best to stay in my tracks but there were spots that made it impossible to avoid sending streams of sluch 30 feet from me in all directions.

Picture a 18 year old strutting down the sidewalk (Dude). Now picture his "Hip Hop" outfit, you know the white jogging pants, the baby blue hat with no peek curve, worn slightly sideways, and a huge poofy jacket open in the front so you can see the ridiculous amount of Bling bling (or massive amounts of shiny necklaces and pendants). And I mean this guy is strutting, bouncing on every step and swinging one arm.

Now picture a two ton tow truck barreling down the road through dirty salty slush. With the sole occupant (the driver) wearing a bright orange pair of coveralls and a hat that he let go of a long time ago, because it's too dirty (if you know mw, I never let go of a good hat).

Now, would you play slop chicken with this character? Dude sees me coming, but instead of moving away from the sidewalk to preserve his "fresh threads" he stands there as if to say "I dare you". Well since I was in traffic and I could barely slow or manoeuvre, I kept my path.

As I got closer he spread his arms to his side like "what you ganna do boi?".

And as I made my way down the next block I smiled a little as Dude was swinging his arms violently obviously unimpressed with his muck-over.

I am a bastard.
