Cars were just driving and not looking what's going on.
Two cars, one after each other just ignore my stick and drove under it.
The other two that followed at BOINGs!
One white van just saw my stick before I do TAP and CRACK on his windscreen.
He stopped dead in front of me!
"How was I supposed to get the kids over with a white van in the way?"
I told him to carry on!
Hometime!
I got chatting with my friend who is having a op on his hand next week. He was out with his wife, walking their dog.
She said:"You had better go and put tea on."
I replied,"I already have, just need to put the oven on."

They both laughed.
