Weirdness Abounds

    While driving home tonight I caught sight, out of the corner of my right eye, of what appeared to be a man walking in the opposite direction of my travel, well off the road, along what I assume was a bike path.

   He was wearing a long sleeved button down shirt and underwear, nothing else. And he was eating an ice cream cone.

   It was 28 degrees out.

   I thought to myself that I must be seeing things as that there was no way in hell a man was out walking in nothing but a long sleeved button down shirt and underwear in 28 degree weather, and certainly he would not be eating an ice cream cone.

   But I couldn't shake the image out of my head, so I decided I needed to turn around and make another pass down the road to be certain.

   The next intersection was only a few hundred feet ahead, so I flipped on my left turn signal and moved over into the left turn lane. 

   Almost to the very second I did that I saw headlights in my rearview mirror, coming up behind me extremely fast, and then the car that was behind those lights lit up the lights that were mounted on its roof - a cop was lighting me up as I was approaching the stale red light at the intersection.

   My first thought was, "What the hell, I signaled before I got into the turn lane, and I even have my turn signal still on, what am I being pulled over for?"

   As the traffic light turned green at the intersection as soon as I slowed my approach, I began to turn onto the street perpendicular to the one I was on and move over to my right to facilitate being pulled over. Then I noticed that the police car in my rear view wasn't following me, but had instead made a U-turn.

   Breathing a sigh of relief I drove slowly up the road I had turned onto.

   Approaching a red light at the next intersection I decided that I would turn the car around and head back to the road I had been driving on, but head the opposite direction (as I was planning to before the cop lit me up), to see if the police cruiser was perhaps checking out the man I saw walking along the bike path in a long sleeved shirt and underwear while eating an ice cream cone.

   So I made my way back, and when I turned onto the road I was originally on I could see the flashing red and blues of the police car about a quarter mile down the road.

   That had the be the cop pulled over to investigate the man in just a shirt and underwear walking down the road while eating an ice cream cone.

   Remember, it was 28 degrees out, so yeah, that would be worth investigating.

   Within 25 yards of where the police cruiser was pulled over I began to slow down. Drawing nearer to the scene I could see a police officer with a flashlight scanning the side of the road where I could see not a man wearing nothing but a long sleeved button down shirt and underwear while eating an ice cream cone, but a woman, in what looked like vintage 1940's lingerie, sitting at a bus stop with a bottle of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

   All I could think was "What the hell is she doing out dressed like that on a night like this...and where is long sleeved dress shirt underwear ice cream cone man?"

   As well as, "Are they a couple?"

   Man, weirdness abounds.
