The Main Road

I watched an old lady try to cross a main road to post her letters this afternoon.
She must've thought how convenient it was to have a bright red post box right across the road from her house.
How very convenient indeed.
I thought it would be pretty funny if she got hit by a car crossing the road.
Even funnier if the car was the postal van, come to collect the mail.
Funnier still if what she was posting were invitations, however when her frail old body got caught in the cars axels and wheels blood spurted everywhere, all over her invitations, but they still got posted and they ended up becoming invitations to her funeral.

I then saw another old person on a scooter trying the cross the very same road.
mm mmm hwa hah haa.

Krystof, the film director, completed the colour trilogy. The films are Blue, White, and Red. They are beautiful - and yes this is a recommendation to watch them. However, and this is the link to your post. Within the films, the stories are interconnected, there is a running gag. When you see them, look out for the old lady trying to recycle her bottles. It's funny in a sad unenthused way. Your anecdote is reminscent of this humour.
