The Face of the Destroyer!

Five minutes from work this morning, I was rolling in an empty lane to a red light when suddenly, a huge truck lurched out if its lane and right in front me. I had to swerve quickly not to be crushed. The truck looked like a decommissioned armored car -- really heavy duty, windowless, menacing. Still, I wasn't going to let the guy off. So I roared up to the driver's side and prepared to scream bloody murder.
The driver was this soft-looking middle-aged guy, pasty faced with downy blond hair. He was applying chapstick and smacking his lips -- pok! pok!
He noticed me and gave a bright smile. So I blew him a kiss!

haha!
I was too thrown to notice. I was all ready to be a hard guy and then . . . I just had to take off and laugh my way down the street. It was like the scene in that Mad Max movie whent they take the helmet of Master Blaster to reveal that baby-faced simpleton.

There's one guy in brooklyn that usually does that thing with the chapstick before he takes out his .357 and wipes the smile off your face. The police are still looking for him.
