That's where you ask if they have insurance, and when they say no, get
back in the deuce, hit the air-shift, and go over thier car monster-truck
style. :-)
(Yes, I know that wouldn't hold up, but it would be fitting.[1])
[1]: Mom let the insurance lapse once. My brother got in a wreck. We still
haven't forgiven her. And that was in '98[2].
[2]: Night of my brother's high school graduation. Fortunately, he wasn't
the slighest bit at fault. Some dumb South African, a recent import
to the country, decided to go out and grab hubby something to eat. On
the wrong side of the road. Impact at about 55MPH. My brother and
mother walked away bruised, but ok. My car was destroyed.
