Moral High Ground
I ran across this in The Long Dark Tea Time of The Soul, by Douglas Adams.
He stepped out on to the street, where a passing eagle swooped out of the sky at him, nearly forcing him into the path of a cyclist, who cursed and swore at him from a moral high ground that cyclists alone seem able to inhabit.
I read it a while back, not long after Dave at Blogography had an encounter with a bicyclist, and was reminded of it again after my posting of yesterday.
And ... I think it's funny. So I thought I'd share it with you all.

I read "The Long Dark Tea Time of The Soul" when it first came out, but haven't touched it since. It didn't even ring a bell when the cyclist went postal on me years later.
Kind of odd considering I can quote most of the Hitchhiker books by heart. :-)

I'd read it before, a long time ago.
After I was done I picked up the other Dirk G. book -- yea, I sort of did it out of order. I'd read it before, as well, but didn't recognize it in the least.
Which is good. Everything is then freshly funny/quirky.
