LEFT TURN

Last month, on the night before Christmas, a friend borrowed my car and as he attempted a left turn, was hit by a motorcycle—a black ninja appropriately enough. As you can imagine I told the story to a friend, who commented that you can never win on the left turn. If you say the light was turning yellow, they say it was already red, if you say it was a solid green, they say the other party had the right-of-way. Thus, from now on…the left turn will be my metaphor for: you just can’t win. Bye bye to “you can’t beat City Hall”, or do only Chicagoans say that one?
