Just as I was doing a double take, the radio announces that a tank has been sighted on 495. I can only suppose it was being transported from one base to another. This was around 25 years ago.

A hummer?

No. It was a tank (or similar armored vehicle). It may have been a Stryker.

Speaking military vehicles, one time in the 90s, the day before the Andrews AFB air show was going to start, there were a lot of interesting military planes flying overhead. I was working on a high floor of an office building overlooking 495. Of particular interest was the B2 Stealth Bomber that flew three laps above the beltway so everyone could have a show. We spent the whole afternoon watching cool planes from the window.

I saw a lady do this in downtown DC. Traffic was literally not moving. She popped out of car, squatted, pulled underwear to side and urinated in street. It was probably rude of me to look, but I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Once I realized, I looked away. No judgement, when you gotta go, you gotta go…

Reading a newspaper
Eating breakfast cereal (bowl and spoon)
Curling eyelashes

All of these at the wheel, while moving at speed, so not really that funny.

Dude was blasting a few Too Short songs while lip syncing in perfect sync with the esteemed Oakland rapper. Yes, this was in Maryland.

Not the funniest but… Wearing a mask while driving alone.

On the turnpike a couple of years ago saw a truck carrying a dumpster that was on fire. It was basically 2020 in a nutshell metaphor.

Not really funny but I met a future girlfriend while stopped on 495 because the Woodrow Wilson bridge was opened. She had got out and sitting on hood smoking a cig so struck up a conversation and went from there.

Yeah, not 495, but 395 on the way back from a field trip to the National Gallery. Guy driving with a map in his lap, then removed it and flashed us. Not sure he appreciated a bunch of HS girls laughing so hard we couldn’t breathe.

This is actually a crime.

Not something females should have to be subjected to, especially children.
