I swear to you this is true

featherynscaleToday, as I was driving to lunch, I encountered a traffic snarl on 69 Highway, just south of College Blvd. Now, this in and of itself is not alarming. There has lately been a lot of construction in that area, so slowdowns are not unknown. And yet, this was different.
As I inched my way southward, I thought, "There must have been an accident." And when I got there, I saw that this was true, in a way. I soon saw the grisly scene -- a box of teddybears had fallen, perhaps from the back of a truck that was stopped on the roadside. Dozens of teddy bears littered the road, some whole, with glassy eyes staring at the heavens balefully, some in parts, bleeding polyfill all over the pavement.
Some motorists had stopped, and were attempting to help a befuddled policeman clear the plushie carnage. I just drove on by, laughing and laughing.
