It Gets Worse!!

In continuation to the previous blog I posted "The Town I Live In": Now that I've been here in San Antonio for 6 months, I have some updates on the "Turn Around Don't Drown" issue I have: 1.) There is an actual website. If you google the words Turn Around Don't Drown and click on I'm feeling lucky, it'll take you right to it 2.) They actually post success stories on this website 3.) During the 3 days of rain we had about a week or so ago, they had to rescue 36 geniuses 4.) The fire department had to raise the "high water rescue" fine from 500 to 1000 and the police department is now imposing an additional fine to the drivers as well as the passengers. 5.) There are actual bumper stickers that say "turn around don't drown" and people actually put them on their cars...as if to say what? Don't follow? Hmmm. 6.) I did not make the graphic below...

"Turn Around Don't Drown!" Have you ever heard that said before? Well I didn't until I moved to this "great" state of Texas about six months ago. I thought I was going to die laughing when I heard the weather man on the local news station say it after announcing a flash flood warning. He said "Remember...Turn around don't drown!" It kind of reminded me of how a fire fighter tells a first grade class to "Stop Drop and Roll" should they ever catch fire. It is a "jingle" that this frequently flooding city of San Antonio, Texas has developed to try help keep the geniuses that reside here from accidentally killing themselves. My aunt told me that although I thought it was funny, I shouldn't laugh because everytime it rains, someone actually dies or goes to the hospital after trying to drive through 6ft of water. Apparently the number of people needing to be rescued after a failed attempt of trying to transform their vehicle into a boat had gotten so high that the fire department had to start charging people for these "rescues." I don't care...it still makes me laugh. It's kind of like a "stupid-fine" or "idiot-fee." ROFLMAO! stupidpeople.gif
