| I can Make it. |
| Monday, January 10, 2005 |
My uncle William ( Willie for short) was a pretty funny guy in his day. Always with a quick joke or some way to make a person smile. His humor was very subtle and sometimes you didn't even realize it till after, that the situation was funny. Case in point would be his driving skills. To say that Willie was a gifted driver is a mild understatement. He was probably the luckiest driver of all time. If you have ever driven in NYC or Brooklyn to be percise you would know that most streets are one way and people double parked all the way down the street. Well Willie would start at the beginning of the street at a regular clip and notice that the light was red at the end of the street suddenly he would punch it and fly down the street at about 65 to 70 miles an hour which might not seem fast but is when you only have about a quarter of an inch of space on both sides. Now mind you the light was red and all he would say was I CAN MAKE IT..... make what???? possibly the accident larger than it had to be who knows but he would floor it as I said and haul ass all the way down the street racing to a red light and sure enough at the end the light would be green and he would make it through how he managed this is unknown he probably had some intimate knowledge of streetlights or if kids would be darting out from inbetween cars but he would do the impossible thats for sure. Needless to say my cousin Wilfred didn't like to drive with him and trust me Wilfred is a nutcase when it comes to his driving ( love ya cuz..) To say that Willie was a bit insane would be very gracious we are talking borderline lunatic when it came to his driving habbits. Needless to say he will and is truly missed.
