tombstone
is there anything dumber than a roadside memorial cross?
here’s what the roadside memorial cross tells the world:
“hello there random automobile driver.. guess what? somebody died somewhere around here.. you have no idea who it was.. or what happened.. or if it was their fault or somebody else’s.. you don’t know anything.. just somebody is dead.. so thanks for looking over here!”
what a wonderful tribute..
oh, it also tells the world there is someone stupid enough to park his or her vehicle on the side of this busy highway and risk his or her life to stick a cross in the ground in honor of someone who was killed on that same busy highway..
presumably if that person got killed putting out a cross, someone would come along and build a memorial in his or her honor..
and so on and so on, until everyone is dead..
which is how the world would end if i was writing the story..
