    You really have to appreciate Tucker's odd sense of humor to get it.

    I've done this, too. You get the bird , usually for no fault of your own and it can at times really tick you off.

    Every once in a blue moon the bird shooter that thinks that you "can't get to them" will forget about you and 3 miles later zip into a rest area.

    All you have to say is... " Let's see that finger now!"

    They get a new attitude really quickly.

    There's something about being in their little cage that makes them feel untouchable and protected. "I can do anything and nobody can do anything about it"

    I do not advocate violence whatsoever... the threat of it or a dose of reality is sometimes all that's needed.

    Smile and wave is usually the best thing to do.

    I wave and smile also . really pisses them off. people just do not like to share the road and be courteous drivers and get all bent out of shape if you slow them down for 3 seconds like that is gonna ruin their entire day . If I flipped off everyone that cut in front of me and wouldn't let me change lanes safely .... I would need a chiropractor to work on my stuck fingers once a week

    Not bad. :)

    But it's better when one posts a weapon one actually has, like this. image.jpg

    Don't worry about it. Just another knucklehead.

    In fact, if the Bronx salute comes from the driver of a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura, Cadillac Escalade with 37" wheels etc, I'm disappointed in anything less. :)
