Kickass, the doorstop dog, joins the keeper in wondering what pattern of reasoning youthful drivers —usually but not always male, use when they come roaring out of nowhere to cut off other drivers in dangerous, near-miss traffic situations.
Some obvious “reasoning” on the part of those infuriating drivers comes to mind:
*I am one important little turd and everybody needs to realize that and let me be first!
*Speed laws are for the timid and when I am driving I become as brave and often as impulsive as a spawning carp!
*I don’t know where all you other drivers are going, but reaching my destination is crucial to world peace so get the hell out of my way!
From the proceeding it might be inferred that the keeper was recently cut off in heavy traffic by a rude young driver, and his only recourse was to talk about it with Phyllis over in the passenger seat.
She is a good listener and did not even comment on the keeper’s excessive use of bad words.
