Regarding an observation by Slappy Doo Hoo.

That was a statement by Slappy I stumbled across on Kicky's infamous "How long can you make my thread" (or something like that)

Anyways, Slappy's statement reminded me of something I used to do in my drinking days.

I was continuously running into parked cars. Just a nasty habit I somehow required. I didn't have a problem with the moving ones, just the ones harmlessly sitting.

So, I'd hit the parked car and usually there was a good- sized crowd of people that were attracted by the noise. (you know how they are -- nosy bastards!) I'd get out of my car and walk over to the damaged car, pull out a piece of paper and pen, write a note, and place it under the windshield wiper.

The crowd, satisfied that I had done the right thing by leaving my phone number and insurance information, dispersed quietlly, presumably off to battle more injustice.

Little did they know the note, in actuality, read, There's a crowd of people watching me write this note on the hood of your car. They think I'm leaving my name and number.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to use that old trick.
