I *always* carry a can of eucalyptus-scented air freshener, and a cage of starving koalas on the passenger seat. If someone pounds on my window, I open the window, spray them in the face, and shove a koala into their face. The koala scents the eucalyptus and chews their face off. If I'm going to be driving through Boston (not that common, since I live in Oklahoma), I use rabid koalas instead. Carl {allegra,ihnp4}!convex!ctvax!uokvax!lmaher
