A Palm Drive

I meant to publish this one earlier but never got around to it till today. Yes, it's one of those incidents that deserves a mention occasionally. About three weeks ago as I was on my way to work, I came across a large crowd standing outside the internet shop that I usually pass. Sad to say, my curiosity was at once alerted, especially when I spotted a very large, leafy palm tree in the background.

As I approached nearer, I was quite surprised to see that the palm was actually lying across a car and that it looked vaguely familiar. This was because, the place where I work has a lush garden of tropical beauties.....8 floors up!! I then met a friend of mine who was observing the incident and he told me that the palm had fallen from the 8th story of my office. I was quite shocked of course. If the palm had indeed fallen from my office, this would mean serious implications (like getting our behinds sued!) so I quickly rushed to my office to determine if this was true. It wasn't thankfully!

There used to be a palm tree that grew outside on the ground floor of my office building. It was that poor palm that got careened into and now decorated the white car. And when I did think about it, I realised that my office grew no large plants therefore it could not have fallen off 8 stories. As for the driver, he was rumoured to have suffered a heart attack thus crashing into the tree before bravely driving his car to a quieter street out of harm's way. That was indeed a clever, brave thing to do.

However, he looked more shocked to me than heart stricken, as if the tree had come to life and attacked him rather than his heart. The poor man was staring at his car, more than likely thinking about his insurance or lack of. My heart went out to him.

Anyways, have a look at this new floral car. :)
