TWO THINGS ARE DEAD

TWO THINGS ARE DEAD

1. My Horn.

2. My Favorite Jeans

In the story of number one- Last Monday night, I was sound asleep and dreaming, and in my dream there was a nice soft tone playing- maybe someone was serenading me with one-note from a trumpet? Maybe it was someone singing an extended whole note of a beautiful Christmas Carol.....I wasn't sure.

Then I started to wake up a little, and I realized the sound was REAL, and coming from inside the house. I got up, stumbled into the hallway (was it the fire alarm?? Are we gonna die??) NO. Not the fire alarm. Waking up a little more by now....go toward the front door, open it and realize the sound is coming from outside...a fire truck? A Tornado drill? NO, It's coming from my driveway. And it's my CAR HORN. ONE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTE continuously HONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKING, right outside my neighbor's bedroom window. I panic. I'm in my pajamas, outside by this point, with no keys. Ran back inside, found the keys, ran outside and opened the car door. I didn't know what to do, so I just started banging on the steering wheel, and the horn stopped. AHHHHHH. silence. So awesome.

After my roomate and I exchanged a few "What the fuck????s" I stumbled back into the house. It was 3:30am-I crawled back into bed, enjoyed a little chuckle at the sheer volume of my horn and how my neighbors must have shit their pants in their dreams, and fell back asleep.

I completely forgot that this happened. Until Tuesday night at 1:30 am. HONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNK.

I bolted up out of bed, ran outside (WITH my keys this time) and did the "hit the horn until it stops" move. This time it was NOT funny at all.

I went to a mechanic the next morning and asked them to fix it. Apparently my horn is wired alongside the airbags, so instead of dealing with that, I just took out the fuse.

So now my horn is dead, and I am sad. because I really love honking at people.

Now my horn sounds like this:

The story of number 2 will have to wait until I can upload a picture, because I want you to have the full effect.
