While in Chilean wine country, Rachel, Jason, Janie, and I came up with a foolproof way to make your next traffic jam awesome. Take notes, people. You'll definitely want to remember this next time you're stuck going 5 mph during rush hour and start cursing the minivan in front of you with a stick figure family on it's back windshield.
Step 1: Ensure driver of the vehicle has consumed much liquid.
Step 2: Remind driver of this consumption when traffic comes to a stop so that he/she realizes a toilet is needed, yet none is available.
Step 3: Convince driver that a real toilet is not necessary, and the side of the road will work just fine.
Step 4: Laugh hysterically when traffic starts moving, but your driver is still watering the plants on the side of the highway.
Step 5: Buy strawberries (or other food product of choice) from someone trolling the side of the road.
Step 6: Laugh harder when traffic starts driving around your still stopped vehicle.
Step 7: Eat strawberries between fits of laughter.
Step 8: Laugh harder still when driver returns to vehicle. Make fun of the driver as long as desired.
