No vermin in this story:
I was driving an old family car and a clamp disappeared from the exhaust. I
looked and found that the exhaust itself was good, but out of place, so
hundreds of miles from home, and outside of garage business hours, I knocked
it back into place and all was well. So, I'm driving towards home and have to
accelerate and discover that moderately hard acceleration separates the pipes
again. So, I pull off the highway and pull over to the right side of the
road. Go to the trunk, pull out the angled lug wrench to reach under the car
to nudge it back in place again. I start to walk up to the spot on the
passenger side of the car to lie down away from the traffic. Suddenly, the
party lights come on, and I'm thinking ... "Great, now, not only to I have to
fix this, but I'm going to have to go to the cop shop to report having it
fixed". So, I stop and wait. The officer approaches me and starts asking
vague questions, iirc. Something "Why are you stopped here, sir". I
explained the exhaust situation. Then she walks up to the passenger window
and asks my wife how she is. Then the light bulb goes off in my head.
