You didn't just say that on TV!

Now, I know I have mentioned that we always get the dumbest people on television to represent our state. Luckily, this didn't make national news, but of course, I'm going to share it with you. Because I really don't think I could give you all a worse impression of how the hicks in our state are compared to what you already think of them.

Not too long ago there was a bad wreck in Columbia, SC. I was watching the news and they were talking about how they had to reroute traffic around this fast food restaurant. The reporter was talking to an eyewitness who said the truck came barreling around the drive-through and flew into oncoming traffic. You could tell from the expression on the reporter's face that he hadn't had any prep time with this woman, and he was a little hesitant about even talking to her. If you had seen her, you'd know what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, I can't even find a picture that does her justice.

So the witness goes on to tell us what she saw. She was very antsy throughout the whole thing, and she kept glancing over her shoulder looking at the scene where all the cops were gathered around. Then the reporter asks her, "So, what went through your mind when you saw all of this? Were you scared?"

The witness responded, "I don't know, man. I was stoned at the time." Wait, what now?

Yes, you read that right. She was STONED at the time and just admitted so on television. The reporter looked like a deer in headlights for the flash of a second, and then he smartly sent the feed back into the studio. I know he wanted to kill someone, and he couldn't get away from her fast enough. I wonder how long it took for her to be arrested?

In other wonderful news, remember the professor I've been fussing about? Well, if you've missed it, I've had this one professor who has been nit-picking me to death and has pretty much been no help. I get the pleasure of having again next term! Isn't that fantastic? The school loved his work with me so much that they wanted to give him another shot at ruining my 4.0 GPA in my LAST term of school. Yay! By the way, he still hasn't finished grading my work from this last course, so the school is showing my status as incomplete at the moment. You gotta love that, right? I'm so excited I can hardly keep from beating my head into a wall.

Finally, a friend of mine who I haven't seen in 14 years is coming to visit this weekend! I can't wait to see her and meet her significant other who she's been living with for quite some time now. I've talked to him on the phone before, so he thinks he knows me. Wait until he gets a taste of me and D in the same room together. I'm taking Monday off because she says she's getting here Saturday night, but they still don't know for sure how long they are staying. Now THIS news I AM excited about if you didn't catch my sarcasm earlier.

And on a final note, just because I thought it was a cute cartoon...

If she came out with that comment while being interviewed on telly she was probably stoned then as well.

Don't you HAAAAAAATE that? I had a teacher who flat out refused to give A's. He gave everyone a D on their first assignment and the people with the best drawings (it was a design class) got B+'s. He drove me up the wall. I drove home crying more than one night after his class.

Oilfield Trash said...

I can't stand teachers like that.

And there is no shortage of idiots on the news these days. Sheesh.

J.Day said...

Oh teachers like that can suck it. I mean, where's the harm in being a wee bit nicer? I once had three big finals in a row, and went to all three professor to ask to take a test early or a day later. They all flat out refused because it caused them extra work to make up a new test. I couldn't even finish my second final, I didn't have enough time to dash across campus. So on the last problem I simply wrote,"Doc, I have my 3rd final in 5 minutes across campus and since you (or the other two) were unable to proctor this test for me at another time, I will be unable to finish my final. See you next semester in Nutrition." LOL Still passed the class.

I actually want to see the reporter's face. LOL

Krissy said...

Tony.. Since it was shortly after the wreck, I'm sure she was still stoned and carrying!

Cake Betch.. I am still waiting for my final grade from him, so I better have gotten an A. He sure is all about making me fight for every bit though!

OT.. No doubt about that!

J.Day.. That was awesome that you wrote that on the exam. At least he knew you weren't trying to get out of something! I wish I had thought to take a picture of the reporter and the woman he interviewed. LOL

Joss said...

yep i've had irritating teachers like that, but some real nice ones too.

Rebecca said...

i'm with OT on this one

Krissy said...

Joss.. Yeah, the good ones are awesome, but the bad ones make it so hard to get through it when you are working and have other things going on with your life.

Becca.. Amen to that!

Al Penwasser said...

I'm stoned and I forgot to brush my hair. Dude.

Krissy said...

Al... You have hair to brush? Yay for you! :)

that guy said...

"that is why they call it dope"

On My Soapbox said...

"I just smoke dope to relax. They should legalize it. Nothing happens when you smoke it." Yup, I heard all of these things and more from my ex-fiance` aka pot addict.

Yvonne said...

Wow! That's hysterical!!! Oh and as for your professor? Don't sweat it, I'm sure you will do GREEEEAT!

Krissy said...

Bruce.. I can definitely see that in her.

Soapy.. That's about as brilliant as my ex-husband saying that he wasn't an alcoholic because he didn't go to meetings. Lots of brain cells active in those two!

Yvonne.. I sure hope so! Glad you enjoyed the story though.

THUNDERCAT said...

I can't stand teachers like that! I had a professor like that...I've been wishing death upon her ever since! I still have the voodoo doll!

Krissy said...

Thundercat.. Want to send me the doll? I'm sure I could make a few minor adjustments. Or you could do it for me! :)

Full-On-Forward said...

NOTE TO NATION!

People in SC should NEVER be interviews about ANYTHING! LOL! And I live here. But I'm not stoned. Maybe that would help?

Krissy said...

John.. I am beginning to think that's exactly what our problem is! LOL

Anonymous said...

Wow I guess she was still stoned to admit that on TV.
