    Was driving through a town in IL on a highway. Some kid playing in the front yard waved when I was at a stop light. Waved back. Then he started pumping. It's late like 8pm, OK sure, why not. He watched me drive by like the truck was the coolest thing he's ever seen.

    My cornbinder did too. So I'd hit the button on the wheel while reaching up with my left hand and acting like I was pulling the horn cord.

    All I have is a crappy little city horn that sounds like a KIA. So I either have to seem like a dick and ignore them or let them down with my pathetic little horn. :(

    It's a natural reaction. I see kids arm pump, I pull. Miles of smiles

    Sometimes I'll grab the air horn, but then hit the city horn... Shrug my shoulders as if to say "That's it, sorry." Then as they pass, I lay on the horn for 5 seconds or so and watch the face(s) light up. :p
