Frazz by Jef Mallett for July 03, 2013
Transcript:
Miss Plainwell: No one is surprised Mrs. Olsen pushed Gabriela out of a car's way. A few are surprised she was walking home from school. EVERYbody's surprised she moved that quickly. Frazz: 90% of speed is anticipation. Miss Plainwell: And a huge percentage of anticipation is experience. Frazz: All those signs in the teacher's lot did not bend in vain.

I guess they mean that Mrs. Olsen has run over her share of signs in her car. So she’s also an inattentive driver, it takes one to know one….

It means that she has experience watching out for bad drivers who run into things, because the teachers’ lot is full of the effects of bad drivers.

Those who said the she’s run over more than her share of signs are correct.

Mrs. Olsen is somewhat notorious for hitting signs in the parking lot because she wasn’t paying attention. My guess is she saw the driver with the cell phone and through her own experience realized that he was not aware enough of his surroundings to stop in time.
