The Knight in the Toyota

I can’t say that I’m mad at the guy, more saddened that he most likely has or will contaminate the gene pool sometime in the future. To give a little background, the wife and I went to a local grocer to pick up a few things for dinner. At this particular grocer there are lines of parking places where cars can park logically side by side to allow easy entrance into the facility. At the end of the line of parking places is an open area that is not designated as parking, but where some of the lazier among us sometimes park to avoid the arduous walk that an extra ten to fifteen feet can bring. Normally someone parking in this spot only blocks an adjacent road and merely provides a disturbance to the flow of traffic from one side of the grocer to the other.  This guy was different. He was parked in the unauthorized spot facing the row of shoppers going in and out of the grocer. He had his headlights on high and was blinding everyone coming in and out. Now why would someone sit in a parking light with their lights on blinding all the patrons of the business? Could it be to stay warm? This is doubtful as the truck wasn’t running and the lights most likely do not generate heat in the cabin when ran externally on the vehicle.  Could he have been testing the lights? This is doubtful as well as Toyota probably took care of this at the factory. One could argue that he was just being a jerk? This couldn’t be right, why would anyone be a jerk for no reason. I think the real answer if fairly simple. Unknown to the ungrateful patrons was the reality that there is a sewer drain in the back of the parking lot.  The most logical answer to this dilemma is that there was an alien race attempting to gain a foothold on earth and the sewer grate was their main point of entry. These aliens are probably afraid of and/or allergic to artificial light and were unable to proceed through the grate. This selfless American probably save countless lives and insured the peaceful tranquility that is Sunday night in a small town. God save him and his ignorant family.
