Interesting, Floyd.
You know, there's a state Senator in Arizona, I believe, who has tried to
pass a bill in that state banning Spinners and imposing a $10 fine for
those who have them.
Seems he was approaching an intersection where he had the ROW, and a
person pulled up to the stop sign with spinners. The good Senator saw the
spinners still spinning, slammed on his brakes and almost caused a pile-up!

Exaclty right! During the first Gulf War, the troops were taught that, for
example, if a Saudi or a Kuwaiti asked you for a tool, you always hand it
to them with your RIGHT hand, since passing something to someone with the
laft is an even bigger insult that flipping them off!

Hubcaps is one thing, but this was about the hood ornament on a Dodge Truck.
Seriously, it was tongue in cheek, just as you said, andthe point is
priecisely that we give the slap on the han way too much for there to be any
deterent of crime to come out of the punishment given.
