V/haf a ytranye trip W* fa Certain steps should he taken to survive the spring mat T here comes a time when one must cast aside the shackles, break free from the bindings and say “Not tonight, okay, Hon? I’ve got a headache.” Also a time arises during which one needs serious J ac Vt relief from life (dis claimer: this is not an ar gument for euthanasia). As the tensions of the HUVALL rat race” build, one should consider taking a short break from the rut and embark on an all-at-once relaxing and exhilarating road trip — especially if employed as a postal worker or grade-school student. The road trip is much more than a simple four-wheeled the day — the air conditioner works! The car radio is also essential to the road trip, playing an important role in filling awk ward moments of tense silence with agreeable music. To make sure the radio works, check that the cassette/compact disc slot is not cluttered by unwanted objects such as poker cards, breakfast pastries and country music. Once on the road and confident of libera tion, it is customary for the vehicle’s denizens to make car conversation. Interesting topics of discussion usually encounter serious deliber ation. Although this is liberation, do not assume that anything goes in car talk! Some things one simply does not want to hear in a crowd ed car: “Does this look infected to you?," right one to pick up is a complete I science whit h has gotten several grants.

The road trip is lib eration. Liber ation! The first step to getting a much needed road trip un derway is to pack the essen tials. Of course, “the essentials” vary from per son to person. Some hold clean under wear as essen tial.

What a person packs in dicates who they are. For instance, if one comes across a bag filled with legal documents, the assumption can be made that the bag belongs to a lawyer. If the bag is filled with drugs, it belongs to a member of the Dallas Cowboys. If the bag is filled with legal documents and drugs, it be longs to Robert Downey Jr.Before starting out on the mystic journey, one should inspect their vehicle for road-worthiness. It is crucial that the air conditioning function normally. One way to make sure that it functions cor rectly is to seat one male and one female com panion in the car on a hot day and turn the AC on high. If the female comments that the car is freezing and that she needs to warm up, quickly push the male from his seat and seize “Wow, I thought that was my leg!” and “I write for The Battalion!” So on to liberation! If one has neglected to do so up to this point, a destination should be determined. Although the road trip is mainly for the pur pose of pursuing freedom, destiny and cheap microwavable burritos, it’s destination should nonetheless be of some entertainment value. Some of last spring’s most popular travel lo cations were the Pennsylvania-based Amish Computer Camp and Uncle Greg’s Don’t-Ask- Don’t-Tell-Petting-Zoo.
