the jetta with the broken horn

Tonight I picked up my car at the mechanic, so now the horn works. The mechanic said I should have gotten the bumper sticker that says "HORN BROKEN - WATCH FOR FINGER." Actually, angry gestures never occurred to me. Instead, if someone did something stupid and dangerous in front of me, I would pound emphatically and ineffectually on the center of the steering wheel as the other car drove on its merry way.

I have to admit that I gave someone the finger today. Actually, twice. And I wasn't even the one driving. That's what a daytrip to Chicagoland will do to you - FIBs a'poppin. (No offense intended to those who live in Chicago and do not drive in a FIB-like manner.)

Also, I have to back up Grrr's comment on the hilarity of those signs telling you to check a website for traffic information!

I feel completely idiotic giving someone the finger. I just don't feel cool enough to pull it off effectively. G-dog could totally flip the bird and one would think, "wow, that chic is really angry." If I did it I think the recipient of my anger would laugh and cut me off again, just to prove the point that I am really not cool.
