I’ve had this basketball my kid left in the back of my pickup rolling around for the last few weeks.
Yesterday I was driving home about 65 on the floating bridge in Seattle listening to Griffey hit another homer spacing out as usual, when an old fella going 30 in a Geo Metro decided to change lanes right in front of me. I saw the guy glance at his rear view mirror in horror as 5000 pounds of Ford F250 with all 4 wheels locked up came bearing down on him.
I heard a thump on my roof as that basketball came bounding out of my pickup, and bounced into the right hand lane where it was punted by a Metro bus high into the air. Time seemed to stand still as that orange sphere arced high out over the water about 50 yards and slammed into the side of a million dollar yacht (maybe bill gates’s!).
I haven’t laughed that hard in 20 years. I was still giggling when I pulled into my driveway 30 minutes later.
Then I remembered that basketball has my name and phone number written on it. I didn’t answer the phone last night!

Hi Jim,
If you get an E-mail from Bill Gates, DON'T OPEN IT.

*Gabe,The e-mail would probably give my computer the infamous "dickey" virus. Stupid messages would appear on my screen and I'd have to throw it out the window.....Hey, maybe dickey really is a computer virus!Regards, Jim

*Jim, call the Lakers... they need the help.
*Jim,I do find this mighty comical- 'specially since I live out here too. Assume this must have been on 520- lots of good yachts to clobber! My wife works in the personal liability sector and deals with the owners of these sorts of yachts everyday; if she brings up your name, I'll tell her to ignore it..:-) Sam
