Okay, every time I go back home from LA or drive my sister back from her work, this same thought always pops into my head...the carpool lane is a lot like marriage.
See, initially the carpool lane offers a small section of freedom as one races down the freeway going 80-90 mph, the honeymoon phase as you will. Then, you hit bumps along the way such as a slow-ass bus or even more traffic since it is just one lane (financial problems, nagging wife, kids, etc. in the marital realm). You are stuck, you are committed to those two yellow lines and to those marriage vows, for better or worse.
Sticking with the regular five lanes of freeway, however, is bachelor life. If you don't like one lane (one girl)...easy breezy, just move on to the next. Swerving in and out of traffic...tapping a different girl every night. This is all in search of the fastest lane, the most epic climax.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes the carpool is the right choice; nothing but smooth sailing. But, more times than not, I stick with the loose lifestyle of the FREE-way.
Gotta say, nice analogy, lol. So what does a traffic accident symbolize?

ReplyDeletefirst thing that comes to mind is a STD. you're screwed either way on the carpool or the five lanes but you're less susceptible to it if your in the carpool (married)
