Strange Rituals

The people of the hills have some strange rituals. Kentucky is one of the only states where people still stop for funerals. If you are driving in Kentucky and see a funeral procession on the other side of the road, you generally pull over and wait for the procession the pass. On a side street or a 2 lane road, this is a quaint custom, however, the people from the hills of Kentucky tend to carry most things to the level of stupid.
The other day, I was driving in to work. My route takes me on a typical interstate. You know the type. 2 lanes separated by a median strip and then another 2 lanes. The average speed is 70mph. Let's make this more interesting and also say it was raining heavily.
That's the set up. Now imagine a funeral procession coming down the opposite side of the freeway. A vehicle in front of me, seeing that the procession was close and knowing not to stop would be rude, hits his brakes and starts to pull off the highway. The truck behind him, seeing the person in front of him stopping and not wanting to be left out of the herd, locks up his brakes. Then they realize where they are, hit the gas, and try to drive around the other vehicle. Meanwhile, I get to experience the hydroplaning lifestyle and wonder what the idiots in front of me are going to do to further block the roadway.
Fortunately. it all worked out well, but seriously, you don't stop for funerals on an interstate. That's just stupid.
