The Grasshopper Incident (pretty funny)

This past week, I had a pretty interesting encounter with a grasshopper. At work, I've been rolling my windows in my car down about an inch or so to keep from getting too hot. I also have an auto shade that I put up in my windsheild. Well, I got into my car to go home one day after work. I was sitting in my front seat taking the auto shade and folding it when all of a sudden I see something jump towards me and go down my shirt!! Needless to say, I got out and was jumping around trying to get it out. Little did I know that my encounter with this critter was far from over. I thought I got it out even thought I couldn't see it. I got back into my car and headed home. Well, I got about half way home and felt something strange in my shirt. I was not in a position that I could pull over but I lifted my shirt a little and out comes this grasshopper!! It jumped out at me again!! It must have been funny to see me trying to fight this thing. I'm sure it would have made a great video!! Well, I got home and looked around for it again but couldn't find it. I didn't think too much of it until the next day when I got to work. I looked at my back window and lo and behold, it was there!! I was able to get it out finally!! It made for a funny story with my co-workers!! I'm just glad that it wasn't a bee or anything that stings. Now, I've made a conscious decision not to leave my windows down even a little bit.
