The weird part is that something similar actually happened to me IRL maybe a year ago.
Not alpacas, but I did get surprised by a pack of elephants.....
Well, three elephants. Not sure that constitutes a pack.
At any rate, last summer I was driving down the road on my scooter, listening to my music, and generally minding my own business when a few hundred yards down the road I see a guy crossing the street....with three elephants in tow.
What the actual fu.....Okay, time-out!
Rational half of my brain immediately came in with;
"Look, don't be daft. This is suburban Denmark, there can't possibly be elephants crossing the street."
To which the other half responded:
"I agree. And yet there they are. I mean, you do see them, right?"
And let's face it, as arguments go, three live elephants are a little hard to counter.
Rational half:
"Alright, yes I see them. But there must be some logical explanation to the sudden appearance of pachyderms."
Irrational half:
"Yep, must be. But I'll be buggered if I can think of one."
As it turns out, the circus had apparently come to town.
Only they'd parked their tent, and all the trucks, caravans and what have you off the side of a tree-lined road, behind the local fire-station.
So you couldn't actually see the circus until you'd pretty much rounded the corner completely.
All of which resulted in 8-10 seconds where I slowly rolled closer, in utter bewilderment, to what obstinately persisted in being elephants despite the fact that they most certainly couldn't be.
And then I rounded the corner, and started seeing the tent and billboards, and the brain just went.
"Oh.... Right"
But that's gotta be the first time I've ever seen something, and have my mind draw a complete blank.
Just when you think life can't get any weirder, elephants are apparently thrown into the mix.
Who knew?
