So I found myself with a flat tire, pulling into the nearest parking lot with my dog in the back seat. And my cell phone was at home because I'd only stepped out for ten minutes. And lucky for me, I happened to be in the nastiest, most run down industrial sector in the middle of the wealthiest yuppie neighborhood in all of Irvine.
The phone I found was in the greasy lobby of a warehouse that apparently stores grease, or some other refined petrol product. I called AAA. Thank the wind goddess for AAA.
The tow truck finally arrived, but at the wrong parking lot. So I scooped up my little football-sized dog and hoofed it across the street like a running-back in flip-flops. I flagged the driver down and when he pulled up I said the stupidest thing I could possibly say: "Hey man, you looking for a black Escort?"
Now, I'm sure there are people that have to fend off questions like this fairly regularly. But this tow truck driver in upper-middle class Orange County was obviously ill-prepared for a crazy-lookin' white boy with a wall-eyed chihuahua offering him a go with an ethnic hooker. Understandibly so.
It's still not funny to me. I'm sure I'll come around eventually.
Derp!
