You guys ever play Chinese Fire Drill?
ever heard of it?
the definition according to the Urban Dictionary is:The act of, upon reaching a stop light/sign, all the members of a vehicle bail out and dash laps around the car until the light changes or the other people around you get really pissed.
so I'm in Houston Tx earlier today
I promised I'd drive Paulie and his friend to the Hobby airport in H-town
Paulie is not too keen on driving in big cities
hey no sweat, I can't swim
so I'm driving Paulie who's driving a friend
anyway, Paulie starts the drive from Victoria
and he's getting a little too close to the city of Houston
he tells me I need to take over
so now he's looking for a place to pull over
a gas station, a rest stop
you know, all of the acceptable locations for a driver and passenger to swap seats
he exits the highway
and now we're on the feeder
Paulie still can't find a place to pull over
so he just starts to slow down on the feeder
he says "ok you ready to take over."
"this is as good place as any."
I just sit there stunned
"uhhhhhh"
at first I'm thinking, "ummm, yeeeaaaaah this could work I guess."
as he comes more to a complete stop
we're on a feeder in Houston freakin Texas and about to run a Chinese freakin Fire Drill
I snap out of it and say, "wait...no!! This is a horrible place to do this."
he starts to laugh and speeds up as cars are zooming past us
I tell him, "Damn, we almost did a fire drill for reals!"
He follows it up with, "nah, it wasn't a drill it was the real thing."
no shit man, good thing I've done the drill before cause I would have been shitting bricks during the real deal
just follow my training and hope for the best
his friend slept most of the way up there by the way
he had a 5pm flight but we dropped him off at 9 am so I can drive back to go to work
I wonder if he woke up during our Chinese fire not a drill would he have instinctively got out and ran around with us
I would have yelled at him, "man, this is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill!"
