The Funniest Thing I Ever Did See
Category: Life
Now, I apologise if I have told you this before, but I absolutely love this story, and my friend Alice reminded me of it today.
About three years ago, I had just started Cabbie-ing, and I was driving down the high street at midday. The roads were chock-a-block with cars taking people away from the torrential downpour in our little town centre.
I was waiting for the traffic lights to change again, so far in the previous 10 minutes I had moved just one car length, so as my mind started to wander onto other things I noticed an elderly couple standing under an umberella by the bus stop. I say bus stop as there was no shelter, which on this particular day was very unfortunate.
She was a short lady, and clearly in charge, but things had not gone her way this afternoon, as the small umberella she was holding had turned inside out in the gusty wind. She hung onto it regardless taking whatever cover she could from the torrent of water cascading from the angry grey skies.
He was much taller than she was, and looked uncomfortable in his smart clothes, an although he wore a small flat cap and a raincoat, he was still bent over backwards trying to get his head under the low umbrella.
Now its important to tell you that It really was very rainy that day. Very rainy indeed.
And the umbrella was the wrong way round.
Collecting Rain.
Getting Heavy.
Getting very heavy.
And then...... all of a sudden... it wasnt!
The old man leapt in the air as the entire pool of collected rainwater poured down his back.
I am so sorry, but I laughed so hard i nearly crashed the car.
