When Hicks drive in the City
Perhaps the inaccurate maps and confusing road signs weren't all to blame; put a hick in the city, and we'll get confused. I mean, my idea of a traffic jam is ten cars being stuck behind a tractor on a no passing zone (on a two lane hwy). If, by any chance, we have something as big as a 2 four lane hwy, if traffic is stopped, or going slower than 35mph, we have a.) construction, or b.) an accident. And... you have more of a chance around here of hitting a deer on a lonely country road than getting rear-ended on the freeway. So anyway, I was thinking that Goerge Lucas had a totally great idea with this Star Wars thing. Light speeders, pods, x-wings, y-wings, etc... all this little hovering transportation devices... and no roads!!!! But then... if there are no roads, there are no signs. Furthermore, if you get lost in space, and miss your destination, you're not just missing an exit; you're missing a whole planet! And if your coordinates were off, you could land your ship in a swamp. In Lucas' universe, they didn't have tow trucks - although, they DID have the force. However, since I can't even haul my own tired carcass over a climbing wall, I don't think I could lift my ship out of the swamp - Force or not. Or worse, you could get lost in a strange forest and get captured by Ewoks. Well... okay, I guess driving in the cities isn't so bad; I always figure out how to get there, and I haven't landed on any strange planets, all though that Billy Bob character could have been from another planet. And yes, Molly, this guy had a mullet. It was a dandy, too, long and curly and greeeasy. So greasy in fact, that he could have rung it out into a bowl and fried something. But that's another story. See the "yob" post. :P
