Back in the nineties, I forget which year, I was walking downtown Victoria, B.C., amd I came to a pedestrian crossing. Being used to Greece, I waited for the traffic to clear so I could

cross the road. At one point I put a foot down from the sidewalk onto the road, the way I would in Greece, in preparation for crossing when the traffic cleared. All of a sudden,

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

EVERYBODY CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT. HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I took a tentative step, then another one, then I realised I was DELAYING everyone and I QUICKLY crossed, laughing HYSTERICALLY to myself. I had forgotten that drivers in Canada

don't see pedestrians as roadkill...

Could not read it all the sides are black. But I did in fact get the punch line.
