12 Sept 2020, Berkeley CALIFORNIA | Roll a fat cigar of brainpower for two mental midges who climbed out of their vehicles on busy Interstate 80 to argue about who slammed into whom. In short order both argle bargles got slammed into again, this time without the protection of a metal cage.
The second crash occurred at 1:30AM when a hapless Mini Cooper driver swerved to avoid the Dodge Durango and Chevy Malibu wrecks, accidentally colliding with the men. A lesson we all should remember is that neither dead driver cares about that dispute anymore. Learn from the mistakes of others. Two men paid a steep price for their situational unawareness.
It was also not fair to the traumatized Mini Cooper motorist. Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor--just ordinary lack of common sense. And THAT is our daily Darwin Award, something we see quite too much of.
The phrase 'mental midges' seemed a likely phrase, what do you think? My fingers tried to type the antiquated phrase, 'mental midgets,' but realized that times have changed and that phrase perhaps is today perceived as showing contempt for small people, which is no way my intention.
