And that's the craziest thing I've seen all week...

Story time everyone! Gather round the ol' fool campfire. The world is a weird place, primarily because there are so many fools wandering the streets. Today our topic is for you to tell a story, preferably a true one, that ends in the sentence "And that's the craziest thing I've seen all week."

I'll go first, as is my foolish right.

I was in Barcelona Spain until just recently and while I have since adjusted to seeing people play a variety of instruments on trains for money something unexpected happened on the way to Sants Station. In walked a young man, probably 14, with a portable karaoke machine. You see where this is going don't you? Yeah, he was karaokeing Spanish pop tunes for cash. Actually the guy wasn't bad but I had to get off before he finished. And that is the craziest thing I've seen all week

crazy thing?

I live in a place where you'd find lots of weird things lol.

So where I live, let's just say the traffic rules are very lax and the accident rates pretty high....why? people don't follow the rules except for a few. -_-

SO recently there was this rule that people have to wear helmets if they ride motorbikes/scooters.

So my family was very happy about this as we wear helmets even without the rules....and made fun of for following traffic rules too btw.

SO coming back, everyone's like 'What? Wear a helmet? Its so inconvenient! Ruins my hair style...feel so stuffy' and stuff like that.

So here comes the funny weird part. If you don't wear the helmet and cops catch you you have to pay a heavy fine.

So, what do the people do? Make their kids/pillion rider/person in the backseat catch the helmet or make the kid wear the helmet and when they see the cops, they immediately put it on. Lol?

oh oh and other people put it on the rear view mirror in the bike....you know, a place to hang it. And when they see the cop, take it and put it on.

So this is what has been going ion for the past week here in my place.

EDIT: And that's the craziest thing I've seen this week.

Im afraid of motorcycles. Helmet or full body armor or even a full set of magic platemail. Terrifying. Especially in Europe! People so crazy here! I saw a guy drive 2 blocks down the sidewalk last this week. It's the craziest thing I've seen this week!

PS You didn't end your story with "It's the craziest thing I've seen..."

oopsie sorry. I'll edit that right now.

I'm afraid I have a sad but true story. There was a doco on the idiot box about the very rich daughter of a mega rich sporting magnate. A politician - in the House, mind you - wanted to know why the taxpayer was hosting the magnate's event at considerable loss each year to fund the extravagant life of his bogan daughter.

The magnate wanted to know if he spoke English, ‘what does bogan mean?’ (It means vulgarian). And although justly indignant, let loose with some quite unnecessary and quite vulgar comments of his own.

Monkey house at the zoo, anyone?

And THAT is the craziest thing I’ve seen this week.
