Had to comment on this.

Last time I gave someone the finger while on the road, my dad wound up
getting shot (he was the driver).  This was about thirty years ago.  He's
still with us, thanks to the punk only having a .22.

If anyone wants, I'll give more details later.  Right now, I'm going to
sleep.
