Every morning.. I take the same route to work. And every morning.. I’m stuck in a jam. To while away the minutes.. I listen to the radio, waiting for the DJs to make fools of themselves again, thinking they’re funny..

Every so often, I’ll hear a siren coming from behind the jam. A quick glance in the mirror confirms that a VIP wants to get somewhere fast and has a police outrider to move the traffic aside. So, where does he have to be in such a hurry that he gets priority? I’m pretty sure it’s the same VIP.. cos it happens around the same time everytime I see him (it could be a ‘her’ for all I know… I can’t see through tinted glass).

The fact that this so called VIP has only one outrider leads me to assume that he isn’t all that important, hence VIP and not VVVIP or something. But still, where does he need to go in such a hurry? I bet the other people on that road are equally hurried to get to where THEY want to go. How come WE don’t get outriders? Oh wait.. if all of us had outriders, we’d just be jammed in the same place with our outriders cos everyone is in a rush to go somewhere.

So, to the ‘VIP’ who has to get the help of a police outrider to get to wherever he wants to, I don’t care what your reasons are: you woke up late, you have to travel a great distance, your other woman’s home is quite a distance from yours, whatever…  Either wake up earlier and leave earlier, or SUCK IT UP like the rest of us in the traffic! The police have more important things to do than to escort you to work.. or do they? Hmm…
