Experience Tumblr like never before
As I was driving home through the forest recently, ahead of me I saw an old pickup truck pull over onto the shoulder and put its hazard lights on. A young woman wearing handmade clothing jumped out of the truck and ran 200 feet back up the road. As I passed, I saw her scoop up a newt she'd seen crossing the road, and carry it into the forest, before running back to her truck.
This made me smile, but the redneck behind me was outraged. "Damn hippies! Bleeding heart liberal treehuggers... only on Chauncy's Island... Friggin' oughta be a law... stoppin' for a damn lizard. What about the other cars?"
I looked him in the eyes and said, quietly but firmly, "You're new around here, aren't you?"
"I been here seven whole years, so, no, I'm not new," the redneck said. "What's it to you, anyway?"
I've been here 30 years, but I didn't mention that. I just said to him, "Seven whole years you've been here, and you still act like you're brand new. That's a shame."
And everyone else laughed and clapped as the redneck drove away without saying anything more.
