comic relief

I pulled out into traffic and pointed the car towards home like a horse towards the barn. I was feeling rather pensive; life can be more drama than comedy by times.
As I picked up speed I noticed a man walking on the shoulder.
Where were his pants??!!
Oh yes, shorts!! He was wearing shorts that were shorter than his baggy jacket.
Baggy black shorts.
But his legs were so pale and skinny.
Mr. Bean came to mind.
I laughed out loud in the car.
When I tried to tell my daughter about it later, I laughed so hard, I cried.
Comic relief.
