Riding the Fence

An accident occurred in front of Sarah's apartment today. We heard it through the window. Apparently, a woman ran the redlight and a man swerved to miss her. He ended up through a fence, perched precariously on a tall curb, halfway in someone's yard. The poor residents. The man who lives there has spent the last few weeks erecting a fine, wooden fence. He just finished it not 2 weeks ago. Now, 2 whole sections have been mowed down. It's funny that a fence would evoke such emotion but it seems many of the neighbors had taken notice of his home improvement project. Many were heard to say, "That's too bad. He just finished that fence." Not one mention of concern for the vehicles...just sympathy for a fence. It just goes to show you that riding a fence does you no good. The fence will tumble and you will find yourself on one side or the other...whether you wanted to or not.
