Golden Arches


There was a huge accident on the Expressway leaving Toronto yesterday, and I was forced to leave the highway, as was everyone else, and hit the surface streets. After taking my mother in law to the airport in 45 minutes, it took 2 ½ hours to return.

About 12:30 p.m., I was looking for a place to get a lunch to go. While not my first choice, there was a McDonalds that showed up on the right hand side of the street, the way I was going. This was no time to stand on ceremony, so Mickey D’s it was.

After I got my lunch I returned to my car to set out the frugal repast in driving and eating order. A nice looking young couple exited the McDonalds just after me, and since they were “dressed up”, a rare thing for me to see in today’s world, I noticed them. The young man had on a suit and tie and the young lady was wearing a dress and coat. I admired them for a moment, as they got into their provincial car, a new white sedan that said Ontario on the doors. It made me take notice as I wondered who got official cars, and it quickly left my mind.

I started the car, and while leaving I looked to my left into the window of the white sedan. They were “going at it” in the front seat! While clothes were still on, they were rolling over each other much to my surprise. I shouted at them (although our windows were all closed and mine was just an automatic reaction) “You can’t do that in a Provincial car!”

I laughed and drove off realizing once again that clothes do not make the man, although an absence of clothes must make something. I couldn’t sit around and wait to see what carryout looked in their car.
