Police did not say what song the man was playing.
* “Blowing in the Wind”?
* Plus he was texting about it.
* If you don’t even notice a police car pulling up next to you, you really aren’t paying attention.
* If you want to make use of the time you spend in the car, try audiobooks.
* Don’t you just hate drivers who won’t lay off the horn?
* It was like the trumpet was calling out to him, saying, “Blow me.”
* This is nothing. He used to drive while playing the trombone.
* He had to stop that – the cost of the new windshields was killing him.
