tell us what happened, i'm curious.

one time i walked to my honda accord and noticed how clean my driver
side window was and marveled at the clarity of it and i can see inside
the car without seeing smudges. i was not happy to see the glass was
not there, they broke it clean and stole the radio.
i had many fantasies of me being the green arrow and shooting an arrow
and impaling the MF to the tree next to my car.
