Almost Caught A Ninja!
Jan, 30, 2017
I hit a guy with my truck! Technically he hit my truck with his feet. Now that I have your attention I’ll explain.
Houston is home of the tiny streets. They pride themselves in having the smallest streets in the world. “Come to our city if you own a small bike and have been dieting for atleast 12 years” is their motto I just made up.
Now, the only problem with this is, in Texas every male child is handed a gun and pickup truck on their 13th birthday. Its a right of passage. Unfortunately, if you live in Houston every passage is very small. That’s why we collided.
Here’s what happened. I was driving in downtown Houston because I had a meeting and my vehicle insurance was paid up for the month. I was heading down a one way street because all streets in Houston are one way. I’m guessing they had to make it that way because only one vehicle will fit on them at a time. The positive in this is that it makes it really easy to window shop because the store windows are right next to your truck windows.
Anyway, I’m driving down the street very cautiously only checking my Facebook feed when there was a red light or when someone posted something good. I was about to take a sip of my coffee when this guy had the nerve to walk out of the alleyway in front of me. I guess he was planning on turning right and attempting to walk on the sidewalk which is where our side mirrors are supposed to go.
I quickly slammed on my brakes and he jumped straight up on the hood of my truck.
It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! Then he just stood there staring at me. So, I instantly did what any American would do in this situation. I tried to get my I-Phone out to take a picture for my twitter account (bobsmileycomic). However, this ninja, like all ninja’s, didn’t want his picture taken so he began to jump up and down on my hood. Then he disappeared back into the alleyway. He was just gone!
I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to get out of the truck for fear he and the three other turtles were waiting for me. So I just drove on to my meeting.
