Don't feel bad...

One summer day driving, I was rounding the bottom of a hill, checking
out an aircooled Vanagon (I think they're cool) and didn't think he'd
see me, as he was driving up the main drive on that hill and I was to
his rear left.

I was debating whether or not to honk, as it would take his eyes off
of a curve up ahead, but this guy was sharp and spotted me right away
and honked. It was then that I realized that MY HORN CRAPPED OUT. I
tried to wave, but he had already rounded the bend and was out of sight.

Six months later, I was putting around in a GEO and saw him. I wanted
so badly to honk at him, but it would have been no use.

So, which is worse, to be accosted by a jerk or to feel like one?

Have a good weekend,

Sam
