About 12:30 this afternoon, I'm leaving beautiful, metropolitan Linworth behind and am heading west on Dublin-Granville Rd. Traffic is typical for lunchtime -- moving at 40 to 45 MPH but fairly thick in both directions. Suddenly, a guy in a white Mercedes Benz decides he has to pull out of the Brookside Country Club and make a left turn onto Dublin-Granville, and he has to do it right now, traffic be damned.
There's no room in either direction, but he just pulls out right in front of me anyway. I have to stand on the brakes, and so did eastbound cars. Jesus! It was a minor miracle there was no collision, and it happened so fast no one had time to honk or make the appropriate hand signal.
After I picked my heart up off the floormats and checked my BVD's, I immediately thought of the old riddle, "What's the difference between a porcupine and a Mercedes?"
The answer, of course, is the title to this post.
