The Week's Best E-Mail

Back-to-work week has been good, albeit it's still raining and my hair still looks like hell. Today, I'm doing ... bangs. Even wet and scraggly, you can't go wrong with bangs. Unless they frizz up, which they haven't done yet.

Happy Wednesday and Happy Hump Day,Y and now onward to the week's best e-mail. Roxan sent me this and, needless to say, I quite adored it. Women will get it immediately; men, maybe not so much.

Emergency!
I had a flat tire yesterday, so I got out of the car and opened the trunk.

I took out my cardboard men, unfolded them, and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe it!

Cars started slowing down looking at my lifelike men, which made it safer for me to work at the side of the road.

Traffic starts backing up. Everybody is honking their horns and waving like crazy. It wasn't long before a state trooper pulled up behind me.

"What's going on here?"

"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.

"Well, what are those cardboard men doing here by the road?"



I couldn't believe that he didn't know, so I told him.

"Helloooooo, those are my Emergency Flashers."
