Today on my way home, I saw a lady in a van being pulled over in a drive thru and getting a ticket. I told DH that has to told on this thread

The funniest thing I have ever seen?? Early one morning, I was going to work on a usually busy road but at that hour there wasn't any traffic.. I still had my head lights on even though it was just good daylight, I looked to the shoulder of the road and there --headed down the side of the road, was a cute "teenage' oppssum carrying a white bag with "WENDY'S" clearly visible! He looked so pleased with himself, ... Every time I think of it I laugh.. I have often wondered what Wendy's would have paid for that picture.. It was so cute..

Three years ago on the way to CA, my son, niece, and myself saw a man urinating on the side of the road as soon as we crossed into AZ. When we left AZ into NV we saw another urinating on the side of the road and darned if when we crossed into CA there was yet another man doing the same thing! Everytime we crossed the line going up we saw the roadside being watered.

Oh, gosh, some of these stories are so horrible.

Summerlin, I know that was incredibly traumatic!

77horses, all I can say is there are some weird people in this world.

Dixiedoodle, your story is the cutest!!! (The raccoon one, of course).

When I was a little girl, my mother stopped the car in the middle of traffic on a bridge and wanted me to get out and catch a chicken! I was too little and frightened. Fortunately another woman stopped and I think she caught it.

I was driving down the highway about to enter a small local town and glanced over at a house. A woman was standing in the driveway and she threw what appeared to be a brick or cement block through the windshield of a car that was parked there. A man was standing near the car. I stopped at the local police station and mentioned it to them just in case. Years later their son murdered someone and dismembered his body with an axe. Whew! What a family.

the weirdest thing i saw was a random truck on fire - and wen i say on fire, i mean like engulfed w/ flames! the thing looked like a comet! thank goodness no one was in there! It was just sitting on the side of the high way w/ no one around. It was pretty random!

car smoking, everyone infront of it stopped so we had to stop and within seconds it was engulfed in flames... pretty nifty (no one was hurt the owner of the car just stood near it baffled)

A wolverine (supposedly aren't in PA) eating a dead collie

my own horse barroling down the highway... ME on my moms fat pony in hot persuit after her ...

This isn't funny, but it is the most interesting thing that happened to me while I drove on a highway.

When I lived in Massachusetts, I was driving to my job in Nashua New Hampshire. I worked with mentally retarded adults and found that if I prayed for the clients while I drove to work, I usually had a much better day with them than when I just listened to music. So, I was praying on the way.

A truck ahead of me had a double row of metal wheel barrows in it, one to the left, one row to the right. One by one, left, right they began to fly out of the truck bed directly at me.

I remember seeing the barrows flying directly towards me to the left, and quietly and without fear moving to the right, when the right barrow would let fly, and I would drive to the left. I had to drive all over the road to avoid them because they left the truck and just veered at an angle, and it always seemed to be where my car was currently. I dodged 6 metal barrows back and forth without really thinking about what I was doing, just moving with what I saw. I think it was because I was so mentally stilled from my praying that I was able to just move the right way and not panic.

After it was over, I reacted with a good deal of emotion and thankfulness for that overwhelming calm, thinking of what could have happened if I had panicked and made the wrong moves - what if one of those metal wheelbarrows had come through the window!

The truck never stopped. I don't think he noticed. Bet he got the surpise of his life when he made it to his destination!

Hover Pants!!
It was literally a pair of jeans floating in mid air. Guess the wind was blowing because these things were fully inflated, like they were filled with helium, without having the waist or leg holes sealed off.
