Did your mind ever just wander off and get lost in thought over something completely stupid? You know that commercial where they guy kisses his wife and she says "see you tonight".. and then he jumps off the cliff to parachute down to his car? Well I saw it tonight, and I started thinking. If that's how he gets down, and that's where he parks his car, how does he get back up? Does he take a bus? Does he walk? Looks like one hell of a hike.
What exactly does he do? Doesn't his suit or his shoes get dirty when he lands? Maybe he's an executive at some construction company and he spends a lot of time at construction sites directing stuff, so he doesn't care if he's a little dirty. But I hope he buys his suits cheap because it would be a shame to spend so much money just to get it dirty and have to buy a new one.
When they want to go out, does the wife throw on a parachute too? Or does he go get it and drive it up? Aww I want a guy like that.
Do they have anywhere to park the car up by the house when the weather gets nasty, or they have to leave really fast in case of an emergency?
Do they have kids? Have they thought about having kids? Because that isn't a very safe place for their kids. One minute they're playing softball and the next one of them has landed on top of daddy's jeep a couple thousand feet down. And pets too. They might chase a bird right off the edge of the cliff. My dog would anyway.
If they have a picnic, do people have to sign waivers before they come over saying that they know they are in danger and won't sue for any injury or death resulting from falling off of the cliff? Because that's a big liability. Especially if they bring kids.
How did they decide they wanted to live there anyway? Was it a last resort? Like.. they couldn't afford the neighborhood with yards that didn't have a deadly drop off? Or did this guy have some fetish for skydiving and thought.. hey, I'd like to parachute to my car everyday. Or maybe the wife is having an affair, and she picked the house, convinced her husband it would be a hoot to jump off a cliff everyday, and is planning to fill his parachute with wrenches one day before he leaves for work so she can live happily every after with the other Mr. Right.
And then I felt really dumb and read a book to keep my brain from rotting. |
