3 Hits - NOT Poetry in Motion

Gllen managed to burn at least three things in the course of 30 seconds of smoking.

On our way to a romantic lunch date at 20*21, he decided to smoke a cigarette. Within seconds of it being lit, he dropped it in between the seat and the emergency break. It was a harrowing 15 seconds, and I was freaking out because I know how many gum wrappers and gas station receipts get stuck in that particular crevice. He managed to save the smoldering cigarette, but received a phone call at that same moment. During the course of pulling his hat off (I'm already cursing this hat) and answering the phone, he managed to burn a huge chunk of my passenger side visor AND melt a spot of his jacket - two things that are more than three feet from each other, and BOTH he didn't notice until AFTER the phone call was over. Did I mention that he threw his cigarette out the window seconds after answering his phone?

After all this, I was pretty sure that the car would be in flames by the time we got done with lunch.

  1. I bet it was the fastest he's moved in 6 months though.

  2. Actually, he didn't move fast at all. The fact that he burnt my car didn't seem to bother him.
