People to whom common courtesy is a complete mystery. People like the woman driving aimlessly around the Wal-Mart parking lot tonight, messing with everyone&#8217;s evening. The woman to whom I shouted &#8220;HANG UP AND DRIVE!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, for all the bluehaired road parasites, for the morons whose head can&#8217;t be seen above the headrest, in the left lane, driving 15 on the expressway with their left turn signal on, here&#8217;s the answer.<\/p>\n<p>Paintball.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, paintball. You see a woman with three non-child-seated toddlers in the back of her BMW M7 weaving through traffic and flipping folks off, you hit her car with a paintball. You see a 1972 Buick Electra 225 being driven by braille by a man too wizened to see but through the spokes of the steering wheel, you plant a nice paintball on the decklid. He&#8217;ll never know. You run across a woman in the parking lot of Piggly Wiggly, unable to dock her gigantic Escalade, talking on the phone, stalled, yapping away, in front of yet another spot you could park a Hobie Cat in, Splat!<\/p>\n<p>See, there are those who drive down stairs, those who hit trees, those whose cars bear the scars of countless idiotic acts. Those morons are easy to spot. Without some way of being branded for their stupidity, however, most idiotic drivers wear near-perfect camoflage. <\/p>\n<p>If enough people carried paintball guns in their cars, and marked every idiot driver they saw, and if cops would ticket people who had multitudes of paintball hits, we could end freeway congestion in  a week.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a little more reasonable than my original plan of strapping a laser-guided bazooka blaster to the hood of the truck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I learned from my boss, some time ago, not to bring him problems unless I also bring the possible solutions. if you bring him a problem, you had better already have several potential methods of solving the problem to present as well.
