Headroom

[billroper]

You have to understand that I need a lot of headroom in my cars. It comes from having a long torso. But there are some times when no amount of headroom is going to help the situation.

I was driving home from work, in a bit of a hurry, so that daisy_knotwise and I could get some dinner before continuing preparations to go to England. I turned into the traffic circle near home, when I realized that a car was coming from a funny angle. I swerved to avoid it and managed to do so, but as I did, I drove through this flash of light -- yes, I know that sounds strange, but I don't know how else to describe it. And I realized that there was suddenly no headroom left in the car.

Trembling, I pulled through the circle and into the left-turn lane for Wolf Rd. (Oh, now that's just ironic.) I reached up to find out why my head was being crushed against the roof of the car and realized that it was my ears. My furry ears. Now, I've been growing a bit of hair there as I get older, but this was ridiculous.

I flipped down the visor mirror and saw a six-foot tall white anthropomorphic rabbit looking back at me. "I would have sworn", I thought to myself, "that portal was supposed to be in the Bermuda Triangle, not in Des Plaines."

Ok, so I'm a rabbit here. I wonder what analog of Gretchen is going to be arriving from the bank...

That really deserved a warning... Dairy Queen Cookie Dough Blizzard was not designed to wind up in the sinuses.

And, independent of what Gretchen _was_ upon returning from the bank... what did she _think_? After all, it's not every day that you arrive home to a livesize white rabbit in the living room.

I am rarely surprised by what I find in my living room.

You would think by this point in the day I would catch the rabbit holes before I read over halfway through and am getting really worried! Came to my senses on reading about the furry ears....

Nicely done :).

Don't feel bad. I saw the rabbithole tag, thought "Oh, that's today, isn't it?" and still didn't have the sense to put the Blizzard down before reading. Apparently I need my "humor ahead" warnings in 72-pt screaming neon green type before I pay attention.
