incredible randomness... while I pack my bags... (EDIT: amanda packs my bags... silly me - she deserves all credit).

(you were warned - content on this blog gets a little strange....)

So, i'm always talking about all the strange things i find in my yard litter wise.. this one takes the cake.

The corner of alan dr. and harmel has always been the lucky recipient of many odd things over the years.  I attribute this to the high concentration of college students that live in the condos by me.  They get all liquored up (nothing wrong with that, by the way) and leave me presents from time to time.  Over the years i've been the lucky recipient of countless bargain basement brands of vodka, rum, old crow, grandpappy's finest mash whiskey, every cheap beer imaginable, large piles of vomit, skidmarks by my landscaping islands (they were supposed to turn - but just ended up going straight... right into my yard), soiled prophylactics - adjacent to spent feminine hygiene products, every fast food bag that this lovely town has to offer.....  and probably a few things that i'm neglecting to mention.  OH yea... someone left me a stinky-couch once.

BUT never in my years could i imagine something like this.  while i didn't venture to pick it up.... my lovely counterpart did examine it a bit closer (albeit without touching, for obvious reasons).  what got us was even more surprising.

if you thought this was a run of the mill pregnancy test... you'd be wrong.  i'd like to call it an inverse pregnancy test (or fertility test for the purists).  the question is not "am i pregnant" but "can i get pregnant at this very moment"....  

in this particular test's case - whomever took it was ready to go....

so this find poses more questions than answers.  

1.  where in gods name did the original owner take this test?

2.  if they didn't take the test out in the middle of the street - why were they carrying it with them?

3.  why would you want to know if you "could" get pregnant prior to heading over to the condos for an all night drinking binge?  nevermind....  silly me.

4.  after finding out they were "ready to go" did the owner, in fact drink all night as is customary.

5.  do studies show that ovulating females play better beer pong?

6.  was it a trap for some poor, unsuspecting soon to be law graduate?  thereby converting a night of romance into a lifetime of commitment.... that'd be a slam dunk... and my best guess :)

whatever the case - i found it incredibly funny...  and thought i'd share.  

i'm pretty sure it is still sitting in my yard - i was of the frame of mind that the groundhogs would take a liking to it and move it for me.....  

yeahhh!!!!!
