Geez, Barry — can't you take a joke?

   I was driving home from the grocery store tonight when I sustained a
   frontal assault. Driving past the ballfields in West St. Paul I
   suddenly heard and felt a loud thump just as my vision immediately got
   very blurry.

   There happened to be a guy sitting in the back seat along with the
   Mall Diva, and I thought at first that maybe Kevin had launched a
   preemptive strike. Once I pulled over and determined that everyone in
   the car was alright and that the reason I couldn't see out the
   windshield was because of a series of concentric circles and cracks
   right in front of my face, I looked over and noticed several large
   guys standing in a nearby ballfield, studiously looking in the other
   direction.
   I pulled into the parking lot and drove a ways over to the backstop
   where a large and rather sheepish looking guy was rubbing his head.
   "Heckuva poke," I said, with some admiration.
   "Thanks."
   "Got any insurance?"
   "Uh, yeah."
   Fortunately he had all of his details with him and I got everything I
   needed.
   I think I'm still going to have him tested for steroids, though.
