Alright...so, I'm not the best driver. And I admit it, okay? But I am trying to improve, and I've never actually touched another car with mine. Well, there may have been that once. Which happened a few times.
But driving is just so boring, and a mind as easily distracted as mine presents a special challenge. And for this, I came kinda close to rear-ending Richard Belzer on the road this morning.
Now, you know you love to write when you're almost sorry you didn't wreck with someone, because of the story it robs you of.
So here is how I imagine it would have gone:
Smack.
Jen and Richard get out of their cars.
Jen: Oh gosh! Are you the Law and Order guy?
Richard: Well, now I'm just the guy you hit with your car.
Jen: Wow! Richard Belzer! Funny story...the casting director I worked for saw you doing standup once in the eighties, and she said it really stunk!
Silence.
Jen: Yeah, she said it was just time-to-go-home-now embarrassing. Isn't that so funny?
Crickets.
Jen: Aw, crap. Is it too late for "I'm a big fan"?
Louder, angrier crickets.
Jen: "That will buff out"?
