PENSACOLA (CBSMiami/AP) — A fun holiday event turned into a scary situation over the weekend in northern Florida.
A woman is recovering after being run over by a float in the Pensacola Christmas parade.
Officer Tony Garza tells the Pensacola News Journal 59-year-old Miriam Mimms stepped into the street to pick something up along the parade route Saturday evening when she was apparently bumped from behind and fell into the path of a float.
Officials say a safety person walking with the float saw Mimms fall and pulled her head away from the path of the float’s tire. Authorities say the float ran over the left torso.
The parade was delayed for about 30 minutes. The incident is under investigation.
Mimms was in stable condition when she was taken to the hospital.
Who sponsored the float? Hopefully it was a non-profit type organization so this dumb bint doesn’t get a dime for pain and suffering.
Getting hit by a parade float is right up there on the Darwin scale as getting hit by a train. A train rides on 2 rails and never swerves. A parade float goes about 1 mile an hour and spectators line the route. You’d have to be a special kind of stupid to get hit by a parade float.
OK, the big questions. Were there Reindeer anywhere on or associated with the float? Was she a grandma? This could be the real deal.
“Hillary got run over by Deplorables
Strolling to the White House Tuesday eve.
You can say there’s no such thing as Karma,
But as for me and Cankles, we believe.”

Another case of life imitating art. Remember “Grandma got run over by a reindeer” ?
” when she was apparently BUMPED from behind and fell into the path of a float.”
Pushed, Goosed?
Miriam Mimms got sloshed on Pimms
And staggered into the street
She was bumped by a float
‘Twas handed a C note
And cried “bring on the whole fleet!!!”
Oh you people are funny! This has got to be the posts that keep giving…
Yeah Perspective, like Humpty Dumpty. He didn’t jump, he was pushed.
