Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 10, 2021

Ted, if the road was wider or the cars were smaller, there may be a solution.

He used to call this game “Chicken,” but his wife thought it was too violent.

If he takes that out on Ballard Blvd., I’m calling the Sheriff

He should have devised a game that would have given him a reasonable possibility of victory.

If one of the cars is going downhill, it’s supposed to back up. I don’t recall any regulation saying how far it’s supposed to back up. What if it’s 10 miles and the uphill-facing car only had to back up 100 feet? Any takers?

Car on the left. It’s in front in the direction of travel.

If one’s a Hummer, why bother to ask?

The one with the deer catcher.

The pedestrian.

I hate being fuddled

There are similar questions in the text book. Seriously.

Crossing, four cars coming from all four directions, no signs, no main streets, no traffic lights, no nothing.

Right of way? – Depends on who’s first to signal giving it up…

Ironically, Ted decided to devise this new game because he was playing to too many draws in chess…

I’d go by color and use the rainbow as my template.. the car color that is closest to the top (of the colors in the rainbow).. has the right of way. Mind in black and white it does get tricky with frequent crashes.

Addams Family played a similar game. With trains.

Tilt the table. The downhill car will have the right-of-way. Ta-da!

Guns, Ted. Whoever has the biggest guns, has the right of way.

Me

Ted clearly made the road too narrow. Now these two cars will be stuck until one backs up, which is not in Ted’s game plan.
