Me! Me!!


I'm holding out for the vaporizing laser which will take out the perps
who wander into my yard. Poof! Magic Smoke released, perp gone.
Maybe they can work for road rage, too. giggle


A couple years ago in bad stop n go LA traffic..I had a guy tap the
rear bumper of my truck. Not enough to hurt my truck...so I didnt
bother to get out and look. He had been riding my ass like a Blue
Oyster queer...didnt pay much attention to him until the next time he
tapped my ass...texting on his cell phone and paying no attention to
what was going on around him. At this point..I flipped him the bird
with both hands. He got out of his car and approached me with fury on
his face. My drivers window was rolled down and he reached in with
one hand to grab me and cocked his fist back..just in time to look
down at that silver .45 pointed at his crotch. I was looking him
square in the eyes and asked him "ever think your bad day could
suddenly get worse? You already hit my truck twice..lets not make it
a third time, ok?".

I tend to never blink in such unpleasentness and my eyes focus in
kinda an odd fashion according to friends...he froze..****ed his
pants...and then traffic moved ahead a bit and I ..never taking my
eyes off his...told him "might want to get back into your car and
listen to the music", then I pulled ahead the next 30 or so feet. I
could see him in the rearview mirror standing there for a few dozen
seconds or so..then he shook himself, looked down at his crotch..and
ran like a rabbit back to his car and got in. He never got closer than
2 car lengths for the next 45 or so minutes until the traffic cleared
and then he passed me like a shot, never looking around...eyes
straight ahead on the road.

Some people just dont handle traffic very well and tend to go nuts.
Most survive it...but some dont. Now traffic..it doesnt bother me in
the slightest. Like rain..nothing you can do about it. Just listen
to the music until it clears.
