Essay by Theodore A. Thistle,
My story today is short (like me!) and almost ranting. You know I’m Winnie Windshield’s very best friend and it makes me sad to see her abused all the time on the road. As I was traveling down life’s road, I was looking out her transparent view of the world and thinking about her sad life. She really is an abused lady! Everyday she protects you and me from what the road and even other cars throw at us. Winnie is hit on by rocks and salt. She is pooped on by birds, rained on, hailed on, snowed on, scraped, buffed, polished, scratched, wiped. Winnie, and other windshields just like her, sacrifice themselves for our comfort everyday! And, after all that, what thanks does she get? Nothing. Maybe a wash here and again, but nothing. She’s out there on her own, without any sort of protection. I mean, she protects us from all those rocks, debris, and that awful weather.
This is why I feel she should be protected! She needs a life insurance policy of sorts.
Please! Stop windshield abuse today! Make sure Winnie and all her friends are protected… because the hits just keep on coming.

Oh Teddy, your kind post just makes all that cold ice melt right off of me! You don’t even know that half of it! I have all kinds of stories of abuse that I can tell you about in the coming weeks. Most recently I was hit by what almost became our national bird – the turkey. I’m going along thinking about which set of polish I should get for my trim then BAM! Feathers everywhere!
Now listen, I’ve been rained on (I like warm rain don’t you?), spat on, pooped on, and just plain hit on everyday (you know how it is girls) but I’ve never had anything like this happen.

I can't believe all the whinning here. "If we can save but one windshield". Give me a break - pun intended. If you are not protected, and we know the consequences don't we, then don't complain. If you were not on the front of the auto, what purpose would you serve. You are meant to be splattered upon, rained upon, and yes, even cracked. If you are going to be going about business without protection, then YOU know the consequences.
ReplyDeleteStop the whinning and use your protection!!
