Good Samaritan

Let’s think of a subject for today’s topic. How about our pet peeves? Well, I’ll hear about yours in the comment section, but as for now, here’s one of mine; who has the nerve to call in the early hours before my morning cigarette to talk about what, when, where and how what this person did? Oh, I know of a person (I will change his name to protect his identity).

My friend Tim Choi, who went to Kennedy High School in Granada Hills, CA (about 5′10″, 160 lbs., black hair, brown eyes, sweaty palms) decides to give me a ring because he witnessed a car accident in front of his parents’ store. As a good civilian as he his, (eagle scout, valedictorian, masters degree in public health, public aid worker in Sudan) Tim walks out to survey the scene and sees a car run over a fire hydrant. After realizing that the car is on top of the broken hydrant and sees water erupting out from underneath the grounds, it is also hitting the power lines. Since he is “the man of the peoples,” he decides to cower back into the cover of darkness from the fear of dying by 100,000 volts of electrocution.

The lesson for today is that Tim is #1. His reasoning for what he believes, as a “heroic action” is that “he was the first person to walk out to the scene of the accident which in turn, spawned the extra help that was needed to stop the car from launching into outer space.”
