My Good Deed For The Year
I have done my duty to my country by helping out four Marines stranded in Los Angeles with two flat tires at 2:30 in the morning.
Go figure. I'm a sucker for damsels in distress. Or for search of a better word, "soldiers" in distress.
What can I say? How can you not help a man in uniform? I mean, they're protecting our country right, so might as well help them in their time of need - hahaha! It didn't help either that they were pretty hot stuff - lean, mean, fighting machines, I love me some US Marines! (hahaha! ok i'm stopping now)
So they had two flats, and I offered to let them have my spare - which unfortunately did NOT fit their car. BUT if I let them borrow my tire, my actual tire, then they would make it. So there I was, sitting on the curb watching them take my tire out and putting my itty-bitty spare onto my car. I was NUTS.
Not only was I giving complete strangers my tire, but I was gonna let them drive it all the way down to Camp Pendleton in San Diego! God knows when they would return my tire. But it was too late to back out, so there I was giving my tire away and taking pictures of their license plate and driver's licenses.
But thank God, because not all people are untrustworthy. They drove all the way back to LA to give me back my tire after two days. And apparently, I've earned me a couple of friends in the process. Called me an "angel" to boot...I apparently saved their asses because they really need to be back at camp by 6 in the morning.
They told me that no one in their right mind would have done what I did, because no one is that trusting nowadays. But they're thankful I had a 'good heart' - haha! And they promised that if i ever need someone killed - i know who to call.
Thank GOD for good karma. Haha!
