I’ve been having a hard time getting over the Philadelphia Eagles winning this year’s Super Bowl. Here’s a 100-word story that describes my feelings.
“I don’t see the problem,” said the DMV employee.
“See, ‘PHI’ stands for Philadelphia,” I explained, pointing at my new license plate. “And 2017 was the last year they won a Super Bowl.”
“So?”
“So if I drive around with this, people are gonna think I’m an Eagles fan.”
“And?”
“And I’d rather lay down in traffic!”
The DMV employee shrugged. “Next.”
I drove home with my new plates. At an intersection, a truck stopped alongside mine. The driver flapped his arms. “Go Birds!”
I exited my vehicle. I glared at my plates. And I laid facedown in the road.
