Come Quick!

Sitting in traffic... half an hour till show time. Taking the long way! why the F* am I taking the long way?! Highland is packed with cars... I reckon all trying to get downtown... great just where I'M headed. the light turns green. no one moves. stale green... still no one moves. friend on the phone. "We're on our way right now." turns to me: "what am i gunna tell them when we show up late, 'Uh we were stuck at this green light forever!" When's anybody going to get going?? Maybe once the light turns yellow then red, cuz it seems that green isn't doing the trick.
