I was driving home from work a bit past 10pm on I-17 in Phx. So i'm by the big rig and he's hauling some kind of equipment. My window is HALFway rolled down. I'm cursing my radio station for bad selections during my ride home. I catch brief movement from the corner of my eye and then TWACK. A rock shoots through the opened half of my drivers side window and nails me in the head. I maintain composure on the road but i'm thinking.....I got a rock!!!!!!!

I'm afraid you got me beat. Some guy claiming to be Old Black Pete, (on the santaclause.com forum,) gave me a lump of coal, because I DIDN'T say what was on my mind.

Nos, glad to hear you are alright, just last week a friend of mine was drving behind a dump truck and a "HUGE" rock fell off, bounced and when right through is windshield. His daughter was in the backseat and was missed by inches. Very scary stuff.

I'm just glad that it wasn't a heavy piece of sharp metal....
It was about the size of a marble

Oh, THAT'S not a rock! Now, of course that COULD have taken your eye out. Just be thankful it wasn't worse!

I eluded to, but I did not say the actual words.
So, in actuality, YOUR mind jumped the conclusion.
Thus, if YOU thought it was something dirty or wrong,
You should actually be giving YOURSELF that coal.
Anyway, I'm sure the worse is over.
Not likely that I'll get any more coal.
