The Misadventures of the Travelling Plate

So last night I saw the most random thing......my friend and I were driving along the road like you do when you are on a road and we saw this skinny white thing "standing up" on the road. At first I thought it was some kind of gopher or something but when we got closer we saw that it was a paper plate just rolling along the middle of the road. We thought that was a little strange and so we stopped (we were on a service road that wasn't that busy) and I opened my driver's door because it was coming up on my side. I couldn't see it and then my friend said it had rolled past me already. Sure enough, it was rolling towards the intersection. It went into the intersection, was run over by a truck (it went in between the wheels, it wasn't flattened) and then got up and kept rolling. It was hit the same way by a car and kept going. It successfully rolled over the curb and into the parking lot of a nearby gas station. We lost sight of it after that. It has successfully rolled at least 100 metres and was also hit by several cars. It was so random and weird and funny. I guess the wind must've been just right and the plate also had a chunk missing out of it on one edge and we figured that likely had something to do with the aerodynamics of it. That's the first time I had seen anything like that and I don't expect to see it again soon. Its one of those rare moments in life to be treasured.....after all there are not many paper plates that brave or that hearty in this world!
