You Have the Right to Curse my Backside<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One Sunday morning, a few years ago, I was driving on High Street.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the corner of High Street and Corn Alley I stopped. I stopped because I usually try to stop at all intersections even if I have the right of way. Also, this was a blind corner and some drivers could be blind from time to time so that we could not see eye to eye.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suddenly, a vehicle zoomed across the intersection from Corn Alley without stopping. It could have crashed into me if I hadn\u2019t stopped.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trying to be a good citizen, I shouted out to the driver and asked him if he didn\u2019t see the stop sign on the corner on the Corn Alley side of the intersection telling him to stop.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The man put on a royal, sermonic cursing on me. Talk about communion. Even my vehicle was shocked and couldn\u2019t move. I wanted to curse back his backside and tell him about his entire extended family, alive and dead and dying. But I remembered it was a Sunday morning and that my deceased maternal grandmother might have been listening\u2026 and might have been the one who reminded me to stop.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0That was years ago. This afternoon, years after that encounter, I was driving down the same High Street and stopped at the same junction with Corn Alley. This time, not one but three vehicles zoomed across the intersection without stopping.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0This time it wasn\u2019t a Sunday and this time I wanted to do the cursing, so I shouted out to all three of the drivers, with some colorful, native words, that they should observe the equally colorful, native traffic sign. Talk about a cavalcade of colour.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0One of the drivers pointed back to the traffic sign that he saw driving on Corn Alley.My grandmother must have been dusting off and getting ready to come out at night to watch over me. I looked at the sign at the corner. Lord!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All drivers should know that a stop sign is octagonal. Even if you cannot see the front of a stop sign, the octagonal shape tells you it\u2019s a stop sign. All of this traffic geometry is what I wanted to explain to the driver years ago and was about to explain again this evening, three times over.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I looked at the sign, it was no longer octagonal. It was round! Round, round, round.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing the circular sign I decided to make a circle and to go on to Corn Alley ( a one-way street, like High Street) to see what this sign was. Lo and behold, the sign had a blue background with a white arrow in the middle pointing forward! That\u2019s odd. A blue traffic sign with no red border is a sign of positive instructions. In such a case, it is telling the Corn Alley driver to drive on and ignore idiots like me on High Street.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not being proud to call myself an idiot and feeling so ashamed for not knowing that the sign had changed, I made another circle and went back on High Street. This time I was looking for the sign on High Street to tell me to stop at the corner with Corn Alley since now anyone can zoom out of the alley from Corn Alley into the intersection and ignore the idiots on High Street. There was no such sign for the High Street drivers. None.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Who made the change? Was it the driver from years ago coming back in some other persona? Was it a crazed UPP supporter who changed the red and white stop sign to the blue and white proceed sign? Were the authorities going to put up the stop sign for the High Street drivers and stopped for some unknown reason?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am reminded that in England the corn exchange was a meeting place where merchants traded grains. Maybe the junction of High Street and Corn Alley in Antigua is a meeting place to trade bad words.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please drive carefully. Your deceased grandmother might be fast asleep, waiting on you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
