Mr. Lane Changer Chased by Trigger Fingers

When Mr. Lane Changer glanced at his rear view mirrror on University Avenue, while also talking on his cell phone, he saw two crowded lanes of trigger fingers aiming at him. They were undeniably unhappy with his driving, darting dangerously in & out of traffic, speeding ahead, slamming brakes, rushing forward to be first at the red light, first to cross the intersection when the light turned green.

His heart was thumping. The trigger fingers were pointedly closer. He could hear their thump thump thump as the front line rode his back bumper, his Christian fish and yellow ribbon bumper stickers unable to protect him from their road rage. He saw the light changing, and as green appeared, he blasted across the intersection.

But halfway into the next block, he was pulled over by a local police officer. The officer detained him, and issued him a ticket. Thus, Mr. Lane Changer was saved from the passing trigger fingers, who otherwise, would have caught him, surrounded him, and been very happy trigger fingers indeed.
