Get The Hell Off My Windshield!

[MM2004]

During my morning commute, I noticed a grasshopper on my windshield approx. 3 inches above the wiper on the passenger side. I am doing approx. 50 mph, and he is not budging.

I merge onto the expressway into a construction zone doing about the same speed (50 mph) for about 3 miles.

Still there. :confused:

Traffic opens up as the speed limit to 65 mph. Immediately I go for the fast lane bumping my speed up to 75 mph. for about 5 miles.

Still there.

Traffic slows to about 40 mph for about ½ mile.

Still there.

The fast lane opens up and the loud pedal hits the floor. Bawaaaaaaaaaaa, . .

75 mph, . .

80 mph, . .

85 mph.

Still there! :eek:

Arrive at work leaving the MM in its favorite parking space with the grasshopper still on the windshield.

He must be a fan of MM’s?

He had the grin. :D

Mike.

You should have slammed on your brakes and tried rapid deceleration! :D

"....When you can snatch the Grasshopper from my windshield, you will be ready...."

It's Friday, I am experiencing stress fractures in my personality.

In his own language he was saying "Faster. man!!! Faster!!!"

[SilverStreak]

I bet he was thinking....70...85....WHEEEEE E ! Just like 3 weeks ago when I was on the Space shuttle windshield!

[Mike Poore]

I had a fly hanging on, once. He/she stayed there until one oh five.:woohoo: what a ride!

I bed when the semi rear ended him it, would have disloged the pesky critter.;)

[Petrograde]

I would've turned on the windshield wipers,... but I'm an evil little bastage.

[MM2004]

So am I, and thought of that. ;)

But, . . . . .

My windshield was clean.

Didn't want grasshopper poop obstructing my view. :D

Mike.

This thread begs the question:

What is the last thing that goes through a bugs mind when it hits your windshield?

[DEFYANT]

Was he still there when you returned?

Its a-- hole. :D

[MM2004]

Nope.

I am sure he found his way home bragging about riding in, uh, on a MM. :coolman:

Not suprised, it's a high pressure area without a lot of turbulence and what wind pressure he did have to contend with was more like having to stay standing on a 20% grade.

But did you ever think about this, maybe he was in a blackout, woke up after you got to work and said,

"How did I get here? Gods! Where's my family? What's gonna happen to my children?"

Yep. Pick a prize. :D
