How to stop traffic

[debgeisler]

Well, in San Francisco, today's answer to "How do you stop traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge" turned out to be, "Let your ostrich run free."

Ron Love, of Love Farms, was driving across the bridge with two ostriches in his minivan (one doesn't ask) (nor does one really want to know), when he got a bit erratic with his driving, jostled an ostrich, which broke out of the rear window and went on a bit of a dance in San Francisco traffic.

Now, on this coast, our favorite traffic-stoppers are smaller and red. Several years ago, a truck overturned on the "Southeast Expressway" (which runs up through downtown Boston), dumping several tons of live lobsters onto the road in rush-hour traffic. The week before, it had been watermelons.

One local news wit on the radio asked the immortal question: "When is the corn truck coming through?"

The ostrich was probably making better time without the minivan.
