I'm very careful in these matters, at least after the time some kid shouted something out the window at me as he drove by, I caught up to the car at the next light, uttered a snappy insult to the teen, and then realized I had just insulted a mentally handicapped kid who liked bicycles.

Don't feel bad about it, Ryan. I didn't take it personally. Ben |

It's a manly purple, by the way. -- Bill Asher |

I stopped having direct confrontations in the 80s. Some ****er nudged
me and when I caught him at the next light and started giving him the what for, he lifted up a newspaper to his right to show me the gun sitting in the middle of his bench seat. "You're absolutely right sir... it was totally my fault" were my next words, we both smiled and I rode away. |
