Currently have relatives in East Meadow, which is right near Hempstead.
We had just visited a friend in the hospital in EM and while thumbing our way back to WH, a convertible with older teens approached us.
Guy in the back seat yells - Hey you want a lift? We reply - yeah! And he threw a car jack at us.

And now you are in possession of the car jack - - -

Notice you are/were a Marine.
Had a BF in high school who became a Marine - he was 2 years ahead of me. Joined right after graduation. Played trumpet - in Hawaii.
I ended up with a Sailor - - - : ^ ]
One of our slim grandsons - age 18 - can wear one of his tops. . .
