Got Honked at Today

2 lane highway. 12' lanes. 55 mph speed limit. No paved shoulder. I'm on my way home from work this afternoon and hear a car horn from ahead. I look and it's 2 chicks in a convertible approaching in the on-coming lane waving at me.

I'd rather read the Penthouse Forum version of this story. Can't you spice it up a little?
