The three finger salute...

[youspeakmylanguage]

I was driving home from work yesterday evening, cutting through a swanky part of town when I noticed a huge pick-up truck inches away from my back bumper. It was one of those large white F-250 trucks with black compartments welded into the back.

The driver, a rather greasy looking fellow, was grinning like a loon and holding three fingers up to his face.

WTF? Then I remembered...the jackass was giving me the "W" sign in response to the (now fading) John Kerry sticker on my back bumper.

A few years ago, I would have returned his three-finger salute with one finger, but I was too close to home and this fellow looked as though he stepped out of "Deliverance". My days of fighting in parking lots ended years ago. So I slowed down, he passed me, and we both went on our merry way.

Now I'm wondering if a post as gone up over at Free Republic telling another story:

"...and as the repentant dumocrat cried and sped away, the motorists around me honked their horns and applauded my heroic gesture. I'm sure he scraped that disgusting sticker off of his car as quick as he could! Of course, if I had actually gone to Iraq and risked my life I would have whipped his ass on the side of the road for daring to oppose our great leader..."
