You can't make this stuff up.....

I was looking out my window today at work and witnessed probably one of the strangest things yet. First, it should be noted that I look out my window at work a lot...longing to be outside playing. Second, it should be noted that our office/warehouse is located in a mixed residential/commercial area. All of the buildings on our side of the road are offices and warehouses. Everything directly across the street is residential. When I gaze out my window I look directly at a house, where I am not going to lie...I see some weird stuff.

I watched as the man that lives across the street tied an industrial sized chain to a light poll (telephone pole) beside his house. He then proceeded to attach the other end of that chain to the bumper of his truck. I kid you not when I say the man then climbed into the cab of his truck and GUNNED his engine, attempting (I assume) to rip his bumper clear off the back of his vehicle. This maneuver was tried over and over again. Each time I held my breath as I watched the light poll wobble and the bumper hold strong.

Finally he gave up and I breathed a sigh of relief. I watched as he removed the chain from both the poll and his bumper. I assumed my "show" was over and went back to work. Less than two minutes later (I obviously needed a break) he comes outside with a chainsaw. I honestly thought my morning was going to include calling 911, searching for digits, and supplying the ice so said digits could be re-attached to the hand. Thankfully he never cranked the chainsaw and I didn't have to fight my gag reflexes at the sight of all his blood. He left....and actually, I didn't see him at all the rest of the day.

And I went back to work. Or at least that is what I am telling people.
