Don’t Ignore The Signs

Back in my hometown a long while back someone decided to build a road through a swampy area and every time we got a decent rain this road will flood. It floods so often that the county just leaves the barriers there to use when they decide to close it. Well one bright individual figured he could drive his non amphibious pickup through the water so proceeded to go around the first, second and then third set of barriers. He soon realized this was a poor decision when the pickup stalled out and the cab started to fill up with water. So now perched on the top of the pickup he decided that instead of calling 911 he would try calling locale tow truck companies to come get him out of this predicament. Perhaps he was embarrassed? All refused the request to come once they realized where he was, they possessed more common sense than he did. Finally someone alerted the authorities who rescued him and now everyone knew. There was even a nice picture of him in the local paper sitting on top of the pickup and TV crews waiting for an interview. Maybe he should have not disregarded all those barriers; that water gets deep.
