Law abiding Mom/Church Secretary meets transient with Questionable/Criminal History
One drives a Jeep with 230,000 miles, a cracked windshield and a driver’s side door that needs to be bungeed shut. The other drives a late model Mitsubishi Diamante. How do we explain the disparity? Poor planning? Bad ‘life choices?’ Hmmm.

When I saw the fax from the police department, all I could think was, “He had a hell of a lot of nerve to try to panhandle my daughter while she’s sitting in the car in front of the rectory.” (No prosperity gospel preached there!)

The Top 10 Reasons Clowns are Scary was funny until I hit #3:
3. They Can’t Afford More Than 1 Car. Judging by the clowns mode of transportation — a Volkswagen Bug or Serbian-style two-seater that magically fits the driver and 8,000 of his rainbow-colored pals — it appears that clowns don’t actually earn a real living. They can’t even afford the kind of car homeless stoners drive!

We may drive like clowns, but we’re not criminals (outside of the cracked windshield and dubious door). At the end of the day, we have some dignity.
