You know, if you're really concerned about realism and
plausibility in these kinds of songs, there is one which has the
same theme but involves a pistol rather than a rocket launcher.
I *wish* I could remember the name of the song and the artist
right now, but its about a guy who drives down the highway
and when some idiot, like an old lady taking her
miniature poodle across the road at a snails pace, get in his path,
you hear the refrain: "I pulled out my pistol, and I blew
it away" ('it' referring to the poodle, not the
agedly-challenged person.)
There's also a song out now by Moby--"That's when
I reach for my revolver, that's when it all gets blown away."
The CD is called _Animal Rights_ I believe.
I just like them because they're so politically-incorrect.
