no funny stuff

I went to a pizza place last night to grab some beer and some hilarity ensued.

So I've got a bottle of Newcastle, watching some sportscenter and my friend who works at the place notices some kid running through the strip mall parking lot at a surprisingly high speed. Then suddenly, this small tree gets all up in his grill.

A direct hit. Bam! Flowers litter the ground and the rent-a-cop is on the scene. Now every one in the pizza place is floored. The rent-a-cop calls in for backup, and another rent-a shows up to survey.

The kid is wearing all black and has long hair. Immediately our discussion ranges to potential drugs this kid may be on. Acid or mushrooms most likely. He seems to be convulsing some and is still on the ground next to the tree. A fire truck shows up. Then an ambulance. Then two local cops. Finally a state trooper.

The official vehicles have now tried to block off the scene to prevent pizza patrons from watching this fiasco. I walk around a bit to get a better view and the kid seems to be mumbling incoherently. Apparently he was able to get some information across because his mom shows up. She is completely dumbfounded upon arrival.

The cops dont stay to long. The ambulance is the last car there; the medics seem to be having some fun. A welcome break from deadly car crashes and shirtless rednecks oding on meth i'm sure. Sort of like when the fire truck showed up to pull me out of a dumpster in an unfortuate fort square accident.
