Silly Cement

The driver of a Toyota was headed east on E St in DC today. Barricades separated the curb lane from the center. Workers were filling in the trench they had made to bury new fiber optic cables. The slot in the pavement was about 12 inches wide and ran variously near the center of the lanes. 

The slot had been mostly filled in and was being paved over. This anxious drive did not want to wait in the line of traffic to make his intended right turn. Sooo  he took the seemingly clear curb lane outside the barricade while straddling his wheels on each side of the slot. 

When he approached the intersection he started his right turn and dropped his driver side tires into the still fresh concrete that filled the slot. There he remained stuck fast in the soft surface

Three workmen stood around the car pointing at the obvious silly bugger faux pas.  We riders on the bus had ourselves a good chuckle as we inched by in the afternoon DC traffic.
