You:  late 20's, early 30's woman driving east on Rt. 50 in Falls 
Church, around 5:00, Monday, 1/5/04, in a silver Toyota SUV.  You were 
obviously a VIP headed to a critical meeting with similarly important 
people.  I loved the way you leaned on your horn every time some 
peasant driver got in your way, swerved recklessly through traffic, and 
ignored social convention (who's got time for those?!) by refusing to 
use your turn signals.  You sexy beast, rulebreakers are so hot!  You 
not only honked at me, you favored me with "the bird", so I know you 
think I'm especially equipped to serve your majesty.

  Me: smitten 29 y.o. peasant driver, not nearly as important as you, 
but aware of my place in the world relative to your greatness.  I 
thoughtlessly dared to merge into an open lane coming off the ramp at a 
mere 10 miles over the speed limit, when you were coming up from 
behind.  Who cares if it was completely safe for me to do so, I should 
have known that *you* needed that lane, even though there were two 
others to choose from, and driven off the ramp into a tree.  Maybe I 
should do that now, as punishment for daring to briefly inconvenience 
you.

  I know we're meant to be together--otherwise I wouldn't have seen you 
at the next 3 stoplights.  Anyway, if you read this, I hope you choke 
to death on a pretzel you f*****g bitch.
