« Hateful Things by Sei Shonagon | Main | Quiche for everyone! »

Are you making fun of me?

Today I went to the post office to ship out some international orders, so I actually had to find a legal parking spot and wait in line.

I pulled into the lot only to realize that there were no available parking spots. When I tried to back out to park on the street, I looked behind me and some dude was already riding my bumper, so I was stuck.

I waited, and waited...and eventually two cars parked next to each other left at the same time. I pulled into the far spot, and the bumper-rider behind me pulled into the other spot.

I got out of my car and popped the trunk to get my packages out. The bumper-rider was already out of his car and approaching me. He glanced at my pregnant belly (which is getting quite large) and then launched in:

FAT SCHLUB: "So what's up with your sticker? What does THAT mean?"

ME: (Disoriented, because I had taken Dan's car to the post office, so I thought he meant one of the stickers that I have on MY car) "Huh? What sticker?"

FAT SCHLUB: "THAT one." (pointing at it) "It says 'SCIENCE'. What's that supposed to be, that shape...a fish?"

ME: "It's a rocket ship."

FAT SCHLUB: "Well it looks like the fish, which is a Christian symbol. Are you trying to make fun of Christians?"

ME: "You can interpret it any way you like."

And then I walked off. What a dork.

Can you imagine if I stopped to accost every person that I saw with this creationist crap on their car?

"What does THAT mean? Are you making FUN of evolution? Huh? Are you? What's that shape supposed to be right there...is that the Darwin Fish being EATEN? Well IS IT, you punk-ass bitch? You think you've cornered the market on truth? I got your truth RIGHT HERE pal..."

Yeah, not too likely to happen. But funny to imagine.
