The Bo loves Enid saga
I am not usually a big fan of bumper stickers or personalized license plates. However, now that I sit in a car for a long time five days a week, I am beginning to appreciate how they give me something to do. (Sometimes. Usually it's just those Endless/End This War stickers.) Today, a Toyota pickup with a camper shell entertained me for about a half hour today. OK, really it was my brain that entertained me – inspired by that truck.
There was a sticker that said "I [heart] My Wife," a license plate holder that said "My wife drives a Lexus" and a personalized license plate that said "Bo [heart] Enid." Talk about overkill. Who owns this truck? I don't know, but it didn't stop me from making something up!
I imagine that Enid bought all that love paraphernalia for Bo. Enid is a thin 47-year-old woman with saggy skin. She used to be overweight, and she knows secretly Bo prefers her that way. She had a friendly face when she was fat. Now, she looks 10 years older than she is and appears to be cross when she isn't. But she had done a lot of hard work to lose that weight the old-fashioned way: cigarettes, starvation diets and swimming laps in the apartment-complex pool. She isn't about to be fat again even if Bo liked her better that way.
Bo does love Enid. But he's beginning to resent her because of the incessant teasing from the guys at the shop. He doesn't like the word "pussy," so when they say he's pussywhipped, it especially irks him. He knows it's not Enid's fault. It's his. He can't get it up, and she blames herself for that. But it's not her fault. "It" just stopped working, and Bo is too embarrassed to find out why.
However! Just as I was about to get to the heart of Bo and Enid's emotional turmoil, I passed the truck and took a peek at who was inside. And it was a couple in their 20s. But there was something sinister about this couple ...
The red-head was applying thick pancake makeup to cover up the bad skin years of meth use had given her. Her boyfriend, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Jared from the Subway commercials, smoked a cigarette and cursed the San Rafael traffic. Once they got to the warehouse in the city, they could dispose of the bodies. Until then, they had to sit in the truck and hope no one noticed them. Rest in peace, Bo and Enid.
*I changed some minor details about the car and its paraphernalia

If one of the details was changing Al's name to Bo, you missed one.

OK, seriously, I've tried to leave this comment 9 times.
I couldn't choose between Bo and Al, both too good to be true. I'm sure this is a problem a lot of ladies have had. Me-ow. Am I right?

You have personally raised the fun level of all future commutes (or long haul road trips) by introducing "Bumper Sticker Storytime" to the list of necessary games. Thank you for making tomorrow's drive to work far more entertaining.
