Actually, it was acorns. A bunch of older kids were out in front of the school one day, throwing acorns at the passing cars. They kept missing them behind, because the cars were moving about 60 mph.

I thought this was my chance to be really cool, so I explained how they had to lead the car, and showed them how they could throw the acorn up to the same height on the side of the road in order to judge when they would have to throw it to actually hit a car.

After a couple of test throws along the side in order to get the timing down, I tossed one for real at the next car, and caught it perfect, sqare on the windshield.

I don't know if the older kids were impressed or not, because they got out of there a lot quicker than me. I got hauled into the Pricipal's office, and it was not good for me at all.

Come to think of it, it might have been a set-up from the git-go...
