Thought it just too good to not share:
I was on a two lane road the speed limit is 45 miles/hr. and I was coming up to a red light when the light changed. The car at the light did not move right away and I was still approaching.
What I am about to tell you is the Lords truth. I see what I thought was a mirage, there is this Red Nissan Altima with a mattress on top with a large kid about 16 easily 260lbs on top of the mattress on top of the car! The light had turned but I think the driver was texting and did not respond to the changed light. A car in the other lane ahead of me passed the Red Altima and I guess that caught the driver attention. The kid on the roof was holding on to the edges of the open window door, off like a shot the driver accelerates I am following I am not sure but I think the mattress had twine just one wrapped around through the windows. Soon we are approaching 45 miles or so per/hr. The kid just was holding on head buried into the new mattress. The mattress catches air! The fat kid and mattress separate from the Altima. (He has just learned some of the laws of physics) drops onto the road (mattress on the pavement) and slides to a stop. I stop back far enough so if I get rear ended I would not run him over I can't believe how lucky he just was. He gets up stands there with a stunned look the Altima finally realizes it lost it's cargo. The kid pulls the mattress to the side of the road and I start to bust up because he is fine. I just took off, shaking my head, needed to get to another job.
