Mood: Just dancing through life

Only in Baja


Don't know if this is true BUT it fits.

This story happened about a littled while ago, in a little campo in Baja, and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchc-ck tale it's real. This guy was on the side of the road, hitch hiking, on a very dark night and in the middle of a storm. The night was black and no cars went by. The storm was so strong, he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly he saw a car coming towards him. It stopped. The guy, without thinking about it, got in the car, closed the door and and then realized there was nobody behind the wheel.

The car started slowly. The guy looks at the road and sees a curve coming his way. Scared he starts to pray begging for his life. He hasn't come out of shock, when just before he hits the curve, a hand appears thru the window and moves the wheel.

The guy, paralyzed in terror, watches how the hand appears every time they get to a curve.

The guy, gathering strength, gets out of the car and runs to the nearest town.

Wet and in shock, he goes to a cantina and asks for two shots of tequila, and starts telling everybody about the horrible experience he just went thru.

A silence enveloped everybody when they realized the guy is crying and isn't drunk.

About half an hour later, two guys walked in the same cantina and one said to the other.

"Jose Look, there's the jerk that got in the car when we were trying to push it!!!
