I just saw the funniest thing. It was funny to me but I'm sure it's not funny to the property owner.
I had been to the mall to the Cingular store in response to their two voice messages and one letter that said, basically, "OMG, you must upgrade the card in your cell phone immediately or demons will devour the Earth!!!". After searching for 20 minutes for a parking space near the door I got to the store only to be told that my phone is too old to recognize the nifty new cards and if I want said nifty new card I must upgrade my phone (I had been planning on doing that anyway but the model I want hasn't been released to the stores yet). Anyway, I asked what would happen if I didn't upgrade now and continued on with the card I have and I was told that my reception wouldn't be as good as it could be. What, NO demons!!!!! I'm disappointed :(
So I'm muttering under my breath all the way to the car about the waste of time. I get in the car to head to my office to finish up a few loose ends before I head out of town on Monday.
I'm taking a little country highway shortcut from the freeway to my office and in the distance I see a little ranch house with what looks like a split rail fence all along the road. Except big chunks of the fence aren't right. From a distance it looks like somebody ran into the fence but in like 20 different places. Huh? Now I'm on the lookout for emergency vehicles because with an accident that caused that much damage there must be injuries. Except it still doesn't look right. The pieces of fence aren't broken and they aren't scattered all over the place. They are laying right on the fence line. Huh?
It isn't until I get right in front of the place that I realize what has happened. They aren't broken, they melted. I'm not kidding. They aren't real split rails they are some kind of vinyl fake and in the heat they started sagging until they pulled out of the posts. The owner had to have put thousands of dollars into that fence and now he's got a front yard full of what looks like giant curly fries.
I must be truly evil because I almost crashed into what was left of his fence because I was laughing so hard.
