Have you ever been at a crosswalk or anywhere where you cross the street

and there is a car that is waiting to go...Isnt that awful?

You know your going to have to go through , what I call , "The Nod Routine"

You sit there and smile and nod your head for the car to go , then the driver

(perhaps feeling obligated) nods right back. Then you sorta get mad that he

doesnt take your nod...like hes better than you...sort of out of sympathy

Then what do you do? You give him a nod right back!!! An angry-I-dont-need

-your-freakin-sympathy nod. Then he nods back even meaner. Pretty soon

you both look like two Japanese leaders meeting for the first time or

dazed Pidgeons walking on a roof. Then you both sort of give up and start to go..

AT THE SAME TIME!!!! You take a step..he sorta does the halfway tap

on the accelerator, you take a step back, he taps back. Then we do something

that proves that humans are stupid...You charge it accross the street

WHILE he steps on the accellerator. Well , there you have it.....

The Nod. So if your about to cross the street and you see a car..

pretend youve made a mistake , or pretend youve forgotten something and

turn around..walk the other way..so youll never have to encounter...

The Nod...DUN, DUN, DUUUUUUUUUUUU ahhhhhhh
