I was driving along. It was a nice sunny day. I had the top down on my convertible. I was speeding along when I saw a man in the cross walk. He was a younger man in his twenties. I came to a stop and waited for him to cross. He was walking real slow, like so many youngsters tend to do nowadays. He had his head down. He was wearing a baseball cap and had a beard. He was moping across the street. Lollygagging. He looked pathetic. I waited and checked myself for patience. I was in complete control of myself until the kid suddenly stopped in front of me. I thought maybe he dropped something, but no, he didn't. He was checking a manhole cover. My blood pressure went way up. He finally figured out he was being a nuisance and continued across the street.
"You flipping moron!" I yelled as I drove past.
I looked in my rear view mirror. The kid was giving me the finger. I raised my arm and flipped him off. That was a fair exchange, I said to myself as I drove away.
