Many years ago (mid 60s) my brother and I clear a space in front of our house to park. A lady from a block away took the spot. We just took buckets of water and poured it over the car until coated. She did not return. People get killed in the cities for taking a shoveled spot. |

People intent on having their picnic and watching the fireworks show would park anywhere, including in our driveways, even when we homeowners were ordering them to GTFO. We'd just phone a towing service. Towing companies never pass up an opportunity to make their hefty profits. And it's fun watching mom and dad's reaction when, hours later, they and their whiny kids suddenly realize their car is GONE. Serves 'em right! |

We lived across the street from a NYC college. On weekends and late night we could park anywhere we wanted, but during school hours it was packed for blocks around. We had to get special permission, after many meetings with our local police department, to block our own driveways during school hours. The agreement was that if we put a sign on our dash with our address, they wouldn't ticket us. If we forgot, we were free game. On the rare occasions when a student would try to fool the police with a sign, we just called it in and waited for the cops to tell them it wasn't our car. |

Case of the stolen snow shovel
An old towel applied to the windshield with some water, or over the door
seams, and allowed to sit works well, too. Or just a squirt of water into the keyholes ....................... SuperGlue works good for that, too, but that's a bit of overkill. That's usually reserved for the unfaithful, or those who visit them. Better if the car is unlocked, and you can get to the ignition ................ I never actually did this, but just heard about it from a friend who heard it from his cousin's hairdresser's gardener. Then there's the cop car being chained to the fire hydrant in "American Graffitti." Steve Heart surgery pending? Read up and prepare. Learn how to care for a friend.

Vinny From wrote in : I started covering their tags with duct tape Good one! Love it! or maybe a can of spray paint may "accidentally' go off onto the tag. No, that's actual damage/vandalism, the tape peals off with no damage. I do have some crack and peal paper(the type used for stick on labels) that I once used to print my own bumper stickers with nasty, offensive things on them. I would paste them on a vehicle blocking two parking spaces or the vehicle of someone who knowingly cut me off in traffic. People will often cut you off by accident but the extension of the middle finger or the mouthing of foul language can indicate that it was no accident. I would follow them if I had time and see where they parked then install one of my rude bumper stickers on their vehicle. "Kiss My Ass COP!", "Nuke The Nxxxxrs", anything that would attract unwanted attention to the unpleasant person. With the advent of scads of surveillance cameras, it's much more risky than it once was. My modus operandi has always been to cause no damage or not to harm anyone. Of course if someone else wants to kick the offender's ass, it's OK with me. :-) TDD |

I have to be very careful when turning around or stepping back because I could knock a little person to the floor. The bad part, is some of them think it was done on purpose. :-( TDD |

The very worst thing in the world for me to experience is when a toddler runs into my knee. Their little face is right at my knee level and when the little munchkins do the orangutan walk where they scurry wildly around a room with their arms in the air just like Clyde walking around, invariably, the little critter will come at me and run right into my knee if I'm not paying attention. The little kid bounces off my knee, hits the floor and starts crying which rips my heart right out. I couldn't feel worse if you poked me hard in the stomach with a 2X4. :-( TDD |

Love it! or maybe a can of spray paint may "accidentally' go off onto the tag. Once in Las Vegas, I was gassing up my car. A guy pulled in with two or three vehicles on one of those ramp trucks that is either a reposessor or a transport. His boom box was booming, and booming racist angry filthy spew. He got out, and started to go in, leaving the boom box running. He took a few steps, and turned back and reached through the window and turned it off. "Thank you," I said. He turned back and turned on the boom box again, gave me a dirty look, and headed inside. I was putting on the gas cap, having filled up. I was done. He was on the outside of the island with several cars including mine blocking his view. I emptied a rather large can of pepper spray into his opened vehicle window and left. He had California plates, so imagine he either was delayed getting back to Cal, or drove with the windows open. Steve |

Case of the stolen snow shovel
I was holding a toddler boy at church, years ago.
He's about six, now. Anyhow, he shook like a horseback jockey "Arcaro's Disease" from the book "What Dr. Spock Didn't Tell You". Fell off my knee, landed on his head, and cried. Mom came over, picked him up, and loved him up. A couple minutes later he's back on my knee. Mom looked surprised. I commented that was "so, so five minutes ago". Most toddlers have very little in the way of memory cells. They can be howling one minute, and running the next. I'm sure no lasting damage was done. Though, during that minute or two of howling is really rough on normal adults. I'll remember to bring a two by four next time I come down your way and visit. Take your mind off the kid. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ...
