THE MYTH
"Gang members drive with their headlights off, then kill anyone who flashes them."

THE REALITY

Again the only way to know anything is to do it and see what happens.

We started on a highway in Southern California about 7 one morning, and we flashed all day till early evening. We flashed trucks, cars, semis, motorbikes and old ladies on bicycles and got nothing. Not one gang member or even a close resemblance stopped us or killed us.

The closest we got was when a cop pulled us over and told us to put our pants back on. We may try this again with a female flasher and see if that changes the results.

mist1 said...

The gangs have gone soft.

Serena Joy said...

ROTFLMAO! So that was you and your friends I saw that time?:)

MXI said...

Teresa - Hilarious?? I thought I was doing serious investigations.

Mist- What's the world coming to...

Serena - The Judge said I wasn't allowed to talk about it anymore..

Serena Joy said...

Oh, well, yeah, I guess the Judge was right -- assuming it wasn't that pot-smoking judge. In which case all bets are off and you can tell me all about it.:)

MXI said...

I don't believe it was...he was too drunk to tell if he was smoking pot...

Jami said...

I'll volunteer!

MXI said...

You were already on the shortlist Jami...

MXI said...

And so was Candy Yass!!! (You know who you are)

Serena Joy said...

Woo-hoo, CY made the list? Um, what's the shortlist for? It's not that torrid deal, is it?:)

MXI said...

No, to be our female flasher..I've heard you have experience...

Serena Joy said...

Oh, that. It was just that one time, after imbibing a few Hurricanes. I was begged to never do that again because it was too scary.:)

MXI said...

Yeah, and you were less than perfect in the honesty quiz...hmmm "Thou protesteth too much?"

Serena Joy said...

Excuse me! That quiz judged me a little over half honest. LOL.

MXI said...

Okay I'll believe half of what you say....

Serena Joy said...

But you'll believe me when I tell you the test was a dud, right? Usually, I only lie in emergencies, like when my best friend is wearing a butt-ugly dress and asks me how she looks.:)

MXI said...

"I only lie in emergencies"

I love that! Have to remember it....it somehow makes it less of a lie if it was an emergency, like speeding.

Good thing nobody reads my blog they'll wonder why I created a chatroom!

Faith said...

Oh- I'm late to the party! Dang!

Serena Joy said...

Clearly, people read your blog, but it IS interesting the way the Comments sometimes turn into mini-chatrooms. Great fun, I think.

MXI said...

Okay I have readers, but not to many commenters(?)...there is not much to comment about though, you read, you chuckle or you say what's wrong with this guy?

Mira said...

Great stuf, MXI. Where can I read your profile, though?
*wonders*

Serena Joy said...

I read and I chuckle. If anything's wrong with you, I hope you don't go to the doctor about it. Ain't no sense in fixin' what ain't broke.:)

MXI said...

Thanks C.Y.!!!
Of course you could have said you laugh out loud, but I'll take chuckle for now...

Serena Joy said...

Well, I often chuckle out loud. How's that?:)

MXI said...

Close enough..I'll take what I can get...

Serena Joy said...

You got it. And now you're going to shoot me, aren't you, because I'm turning your blog into a chat board again.:)

MXI said...

No I love it!! A day without Serena is like a day without...of course I was going to say sunshine, but that's pretty cliche...I'll think of something.

Serena Joy said...

Aren't you sweet! And now I must go adjust my tinfoil before They come to lock me in tonight.:)
