A Lesson in Amateur Street Racing.
OK class, take your seats.
*ahem*
Car "A" pulls up to a stoplight alongside Car "B". Car "A" realizes that he needs to be in the lane that Car "B" is occupying in order to make a turn in the near future. Car "A" accelerates in order to make this maneuver as quickly as he can. Car "B" mistakenly regards this action as an invitation to "race", and therefore thinks "it" is "on". Car "B" accelerates in order to pass Car "A", thereby "winning" the "race". Unfortunately, both cars are stopped by another stoplight, at which another car is already stopped. This Car "C" is now at the front of stopped traffic, directly in front of Car "A", and dead even with Car "B". The light turns green, and Car "B" peels out, leaving Car "C" in the dust. Car "B" for some reason has now claimed victory over Car "A", which is completely in violation of the rules of street racing. If anything, the second leg was a race between Cars "B" and "C". Or rather, it WOULD have been, if Car "C" had been at all aware of the situation and not listening to the Shrek 2 Soundtrack and singing along to his/her favorite songs. This concludes today's lesson.
One guess to which car I was in.
Whoop.
