So…today I went out and did a little grocery shopping (and on the way got in one good scare…some teenaged girls walking along a country road who had to point and wave at my little car…and then got a good TOOOT…which resulted in ducking and screaming…:D).
After I got home and put the groceries away I decided to take a little trip down to the local auto parts house where I’d been picking up some odds and ends while I was working on my installation. I’d told them about the air horn setup I was going to try to put together, and of course they wanted me to come back and give them a demonstration once I got it done. So…I obliged them.
I parked in front of the doors, and the guys came out to see the whole thing, and of course, were VERY enthusiastic about hearing the final results. They were suitably impressed…enough to say stuff like “We GOTTA get some of these on our trucks!”…and asked for the hornblasters address, which I was happy to give them.
They had also asked that I give them a final farewell blast as I backed out of the parking space, which I was happy to oblige them with. Now mind you, this is a business location, a large store by a very busy street…etc…and what happened next I was NOT ready for. As I rolled around the corner of the building, here comes a guy with blood in his eye, and a BASEBALL BAT in his hand…and as I go by him all I heard was "KNOCK THAT FING S OFF!!!". Needless to say, I didn’t hang around to discuss the matter with him…I really don’t want to have to replace glass, OR my head…he was pretty buff, and I expect if he had managed to get a grip on the bat while I was still within reach, one or both of those might have been casualties! I just boogied…and went a direction AWAY from home!
Anyway…ya never know…today wasn’t my day in the barrel…but it was pretty darn close!! Some people just have NO sense of humor!
Happy Horning!!
