Ask me anything. I just barely missed hitting a stuffed chair in the middle of my lane tonight.

[yellowcanine]

I was in the slow lane of a multi lane highway and there it was - a huge stuffed chair taking up about half of the lane. Fortunately I was able to squeeze by on the outside without encroaching on the other traffic lane too much.

1. Was it a recliner?

What color was it?

[yellowcanine]

3. Don't know about the recliner functionality - possibly. Sort of a brown. But understand it was

dark and I wasn't exactly checking it out, decorating wise. I can tell you what color my tighty whities probably are.

2. Did you go back for it?

[yellowcanine]

4. No I did not. Had the Prius and it would not have fit. However even if I would of had a truck I

think I would not have stopped for it. Someone might have t boned it and I could have been in the line of fire.

[yellowcanine]

5. And before any one asks, no there was not a person sitting on it.

6. Unguided motorized Barcolounger? I hate it when that happens...

[yellowcanine]

7. I am just glad I didn't hit it. My insurance company would have counted it as an "at fault"

accident, I am sure. They seem to think if there is an object on the road you should always be able to avoid hitting it.

13. I hit a very large cardboard box on the highway a few weeks ago.

It fell off of a truck, along with some sort of plastic pallet. I elected to drive over it rather than jam the brakes or swerve. I could tell the box was empty, and the way it landed (on its side) I just figured it would collapse and I would drive over it.

That didn't happen. I wound up pushing it for a couple of hundred yards down the highway before it finally caught the wind and flew over my roof.

8. Bet it was guided

Just ran out of jet fuel...

[yellowcanine]

10. Pretty sure it wasn't one of those - I didn't see any orange flashes....

[krispos42]

11. Well, now I've seen everything. n/t

[yellowcanine]

9. I can't swear as to the make. It could have been a Lazy Boy.

[Swede]

12. Where the heck do you bowl?

[yellowcanine]

14. If only.... No it was closer to this situation.....

Except there was only 1 recliner and no stationary bikes.
Also the chair was turned sideways in the lane and closer to the outside line.

[rrneck]

15. Was Morphius sitting in it?

The matrix may have you.

[yellowcanine]

16. If he was I didn't see him. But I wasn't looking closely either.

I was strictly in collision avoidance mode.

[rrneck]

17. As long as you didn't see

a blonde in a red dress you're probably Ok. Of course, if you were unable to see her because of crash avoidance how do you know the chair wasn't put there to distract you from a glitch in the matrix?

[yellowcanine]

18. Anything is possible. Only time will tell I guess. What is the consequence of

not seeing a glitch in the matrix? Am I dead and just dreaming I am alive, then?

[rrneck]

22. All I can say is if somebody offers you a red pill

and you take it, the food will suck.

[rug]

19. I have that problem in my living room.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

20. How long will it take me to get to Arizona on foot with only $300 dollars?

You said anything!

[yellowcanine]

21. I need more information, such as from where? But I am confused.

I don't see why it should cost anything. They don't charge tolls for walking.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

25. From Springfield MO to Tucson AR

I will be taking 1 guy,1 tent, 3 changes ob clothes, some food and a laptop.

[yellowcanine]

28. Ok it is 1274 miles. If you can do 20 miles per day that is 64 days, give or take.

$300 over 64 days gives you $4.69 to spend a day. You make the call.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

32. This is going to be wild!

At lest it is doing something! I can't keep spinning my wheels.

[zanana1]

23. Was it a moose camouflaging itself...

to look like a chair?

[Tikki]

24. In my '89 Camaro. One of those white buckets the contractors used fell...

off the back of his truck onto the freeway and stuck under the front
of my bumper (air dam?) nice and snug.

As I exited the freeway on to the up ramp I started to drive small tight swerves
to break it loose.
Sure enough just as I reached near the top of the off ramp it popped
out and then right under the front of the car behind me.

I could hear it scraping on the road and the poor young lady looked so
surprised and frightened.

Darn those white buckets!!!

26. Was it near an IKEA? I hear the best road furniture is found about a mile from IKEA.

I used to travel the Dan Ryan I94 on Chicago's south side.

I've dodged:

Kithchen chairs.

Tables.

A camper top (off a pick up)

....and a full vinyl roof. Shell and all. Probably from a Buick or Cadillac.

[yellowcanine]

29. Actually it was near IKEA. But wrong direction, unless they were returning it.

And it really did not look like IKEA style furniture.

[yellowcanine]

30. My friend and I once lost a rowboat off a flatbed pickup.

Old International 3/4 ton truck. We had the boat resting on the cab. It was a very heavy boat so we assumed it wasn't going anywhere. Wrong. As we were cruising down a 2 lane highway at 50 mph the front of the boat rose up in the air and off the back it went. It kind of rolled halfway onto the shoulder. Fortunately no one hit it and the boat was none the worse for the wear. No harm no foul. We put it back on the truck, tied the front of the boat to the front bumper this time and off we went. We were 16. Just another day.

27. Can I have the change in your sofa cushions?

How about the cheetos? Lol

[yellowcanine]

31. Sorry no change and the dog always gets the cheetos.

[GoneOffShore]

33. I thought you were talking about bowling!

Arggh!~

I need to read threads rather than just the tittles.
