    The power company is pruning trees in our village. I have become used to whine of chain saws and the buzz of chippers, but a few minutes ago I heard a sound I couldn't identify. From the street in front of my office I heard a "fpfpfpfpufpt" sort of sound; a combination of soft popping and sliding. I looked out the window just in time to see a brown SUV heading down the hill, pushing the orange traffic cone that was now lying down, sticking out from under the front bumper. Do you think the driver didn't know it was there? I hope there wasn't a guy with a chain saw stuck there along with the cone.

    For some reason SUV's, well including my 4Runner love to hump those little orange cones. The little orange trollops are always throwing themselves under the truck longing for a free ride... only to loose intrest as soon as they have have their way, and dislodge, looking for another SUV to mate with, usually on the freeway onramps!!! It's spring, love is in the air!!

    When you drive a SUV, you can run over all kinds of stuff:

    I've seen little old grannies driving an ancient Dodge K Car down the street, with an extension cord whipping behind the rear bumper like an angry snake, because they forgot to unplug the car before driving off

    Traffic cones stuck in the wheel well is a fairly common thing at construction sites

    I imagine if a utility worker with a chainsaw had been run over, he'd have enough common sense to use the chainsaw as a weapon. THus, you'd hear

    Fpfpfpfpfubpft RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

    RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

    RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
    RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
    RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

    And you'd have an incident that makes national, possibly global, news headlines

    Great. :(

    Now we're going to have a "Bell the SUV" movement so the orange cones will be able to get out of the way.

    No need for a bell. You can hear the roar of the Mud-Traction tires wearing away on hard pavement as they bear down on you. :madgrin:

    At this point, you pull out your 1911 Colt Service revolver, and put a couple of bullets through the engine block, move on, buy a new toy!!!

    Wait until the "Save the Visually Impaired Traffic Cone-heads" get a hold of this one!!!
    The Prius is too quiet, those poor cones are soooo defenseless!!!

    Hmmm. After reading the topic subject line I was sure there was going to be a shredded newspaper involved somehow.

    Oh well.

    Can't have everything.

    I was kind of hoping Tom would have lined up orange colored used diapers and run them through his snowblower ....

    That clip always reminds me of what can happen to people who don't understand basic physics.

    Hence: meth-mouth hillbilly workout day

    Of course, you *did* notice a guy with a lifted pick em up truck kept backing up and roaring ahead until he yanked the body right off the Jeep frame
