On the way to the drug test...

The South is a lovely place, and the people couldn't be sweeter.

...But when you're trying to find a new address for somewhere you've never been before, and you really really need to pee, have to need to pee, can't pee until they hand you that special cup, but that can't happen till you find the medical building how horribly overgrown all the foliage is really hits you.

For those of you who don't know, Florida is a barely-contained jungle. Without what little maintenance that goes on, the whole state would be swallowed up in a year or less. And by maintenance, I mean Mother Nature, in the form of hurricanes knocking down trees.

Damn, people - it's called pruning. And no, that's not a term for canning prunes.

  1. Hahahahah--love all the foliage and the need to pee mise-en-scene.

    You're too creative.

  2. So that brings up the question... what do you call caning prunes?

    Furthermore, what do you call it when you actively expose your hands/feet to water and they get all wrinkly?

  3. Well the prunes would have to really misbehave to deserve caning.

  4. Wrinkly skin due to water is also called pruning!
