I've realised that I don't have the first clue what jaywalking is. I thought it was to do with prostitution.
But between a driver and a pedestrian, the one to blame is the one that was reckless. Although it should never be left unsaid that a driver is piloting a weapon of mass destruction.
I think it's because of some misconception I had as a child (like the one about water polo being horses in a swimming pool... that's the image that still always comes to mind and I have to think really hard to work out what water polo actually is). I still don't really get what jaywalking is but in my mind it's walking alongside a slow-moving car, touting for business.
Finally! All my life people have thought I was making a joke about this. I used to think they had special pools for it, where there wasn't a deep end. You're the first person I've (n)ever met who thinks it too.
Huge high five to you (the kind of high five that needs a run up and we jump in the air at the moment of contact).
I'd honestly completely forgotten about that until you said something, just hadn't thought of it in so long. I remember wondering what they made the pool out of so it was comfortable for the horses. XD

Well that made my morning. I'd say many of the jaywalkers around here are also prostitutes so you weren't too far off.
