Detour
I love sitting here in this big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair. It's in my living room. In my house. Which is on a road where the town guys just put a new sign. It is a sign that has struck terror into the hearts of everybody in the neighborhood. Especially people who have to get to work, and people who tend to have weak bladders. The sign says, "Detour". \n\tGetting where you want to go is tough enough these days. As it says in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot: "Out on the road, you've got to compete with people driving at speeds ranging from sonic boom to car wash\u2014and all you want to do is get to work. You've got to be cunning to survive. \n\tOf course, Big Louie, his own bad self, has some advice for surviving in today's traffic. For example, Louie says, "Never pass a driver who's on a cell phone. Neither that driver nor you have any control in that situation. Wait till he creams the truck ahead of him, then pass briskly on whichever side has less debris."
