Suddenly I have a craving for pancakes.
The name of that article should be, “Driver escapes menacing crowd.”
That’s how it’s done, folks.
A pile of humans can’t stop even an economy station wagon from moving forward.
Just so you know if it ever comes to it.
DAMN THE TORPEDOES....FULL FREEP AHEAD!!!
