OMG! It's Smoking!

Tonight we went on an adults only family date. Or should I say that I crashed Jamie and Lucas' date. We were going to eat dinner and go to a movie.

Sounds normal right? Yeah, no.

We decided that we were going to eat at Chili's no wait, chinese, no wait Five Guys, no even better we ended up at Hooter's. Classy! Well, it has been raining here all day and by the time we got done eating crappy food and served by a waitress that hated us. We go to leave and it is pouring down rain.

Jamie and I decide that we want Lucas to go get the car and we will just jump in. Well, since Lucas is a clown at heart he thought it would be funny to honk the horn at us as we are getting in the car.

Big mistake. The horn actually gets stuck and is going at full blast in front of Hooter's. I mean it was just like the part in Little Miss Sunshine when the horn gets stuck on the VW bus. Literally we are sitting there and the horn won't shut off. So Lucas decides to shut the car off thinking that the horn would turn off if the key was not in the ignition. Wrong! It is still going.

Bright idea number two is for Lucas to start hitting the steering wheel as hard as he can to see if he can get the horn to stop. No. Still blasting. So he decides to move the car before someone calls the police.

Good idea. So now he looks down at the steering wheel and smoke is coming out. Then next thing that is said, "Oh my god, it's smoking!" At this point I am looking and getting scared because this car could catch on fire!

Bright idea number three... Lucas attempts to peel back the rubber/plastic that covers the horn mechanism. Not happening.

Finally... the horn shorts itself out because it is pouring rain and it comes to a slow and painful death. Literally this thing sounded like the wind down of a cartoon.

Moral of the story. It isn't funny to honk the horn in the rain of a Saturn Vue. It might just start smoking.


The end.
