This evening, after running several errands, I decided that I wanted a sugar-free sno cone to soothe my irritated throat. After finding all three sno cone places closed for some reason, I got frustrated and headed home.
I was happily driving along (after nearly getting hit by an ambulance who decided to flip on their lights and sirens and flip a u-turn in the middle of the street) when I approached a massive line of traffic. I wasn't sure why there was a traffic jam in Midwest City -- I mean, really, this isn't exactly the most happening place in the world.
Suddenly, it hit me...Sonic is giving away free root beer floats tonight. There was a line of traffic approximately three blocks long (to the north), waiting to turn in to Sonic. I bypassed it, shaking my head, and was nearly hit by a car that was determined that I wasn't going to beat them in the driveway. Trust me...there was no way in hell I was entering that fray! Incidentally, the line stretched about two and a half blocks to the south, too.
Everyone knows that I'm a sucker for a good deal. Seriously, I'm the one who can ferret out a Dillard's sale ($7 leather purses and $23 Born boots, anyone?) at ten paces, and I also love free things, but there's no way I would risk my life going to Sonic tonight for a free small root beer float. I'd rather dig through my couch cushions, find two bucks in change, and buy one when the crazies are not out in full force!
