I saw Pink Panther today, driving a convertible. Serendipity again finds me because if I hadn't decided to take the day off today, I would have missed this most absurd chance sighting. I couldn't make up this silliness if I tried!
On my drive back from voting (early voting is going on in most states now people, so please get out there and vote), I was stopped at a red light and by mere happenstance, I looked in the rear view mirror. I did a double take. Sitting in a silver Mercedes convertible behind me was a man in a full Pink Panther suit, with one arm on the door, smoking a cigarette, and bopping his head back and forth to whatever music he was listening to. How is it that I see this fantastical shit?
I stared in the rear view mirror, because frankly, I didn't know what else to do. The light turned green and I was so happy to see that he was going my direction! I wanted to pull out my iPhone and snap a picture but I was too flabbergasted to find the phone. All I could think was how lucky I am to have experienced this wondrous slice of life!
Alas, he turned left at the next light, and that was that. Honestly, I haven't been this excited since seeing the Christmas Panda!
