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

a much needed

pack the essen

that one should pack. 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.

usually arises the opportunity to be the good
