I had a nice vehicle once, a 4x4 Suburban. Three days later it took a tractor to pull it loose. Year later it took a Cat D6 to pull it out. Ran that baby hard. I did catch several pheasants with my hands, also got two pheasants with one shot twice. Did a quick draw and killed a quail with a head shot once. All luck. Before the farming changed we had game out the ass here. I used to train retrievers and guide for waterfowl and deer.

A fellow at work was regaling me with a story regarding the imaginative treatment of road jerks. Seems a friend of his drove an old imported sedan with crusty bodywork. A ral "beater" [hold on to that thought]. This guy kept a nightstick in a handy recess of the passenger cabin. This being Saan Fraaan, there would be the inevitable driver whose attitude barely fit into the large, shiny new Lexus or Mercedes [s]he was driving. So if Attitude Pilot did something inadvisable - like muscle next to our hero, he would produce the nightstick and proceed to vigorously pound the **** out of the exterior of his own car door! This invariably exposed previously unsuspected reserves of meekness in the luxo-bunghole. Elegant communication without overt hostility. Diplomacy in motion.
