Got hit with a 70mph handful of change. Yep. Uncle Grandpa and Toothless Earl have nothing better to do with the welfare money I worked so hard to earn for them than whip it at cyclists from the cab of their pickup truck.
The staples and nails are probably from the same yahoos as the change. If you have a cell phone, snap a picture of the donkey on that pickup and ride over to the local police and file a report. In most places that would be considered Assault with Intent to do Bodily Harm.
