Tuesday at workday's close, Arum was in a fantastic mood. He'd discovered something really useful to help him achieve a pie-in-the-sky work scheme he'd be knowing around for a while.
And what a great evening, so beautiful! He put down the windows and turned the stereo up, heads south back to urban wonderful, the music loud enough hear windows open, but not ungodly loud.
Fast forward 25 miles, and they were fast miles, Arum's off the express way and waiting to turn home, and he's happy as hell. There's a duct tape Buick convertible with lovely rap music thumping next to him. He smiles at the fellow, a white guy with a really bad haircut, and even worse acne, and this conversation occurs over the loud riff of "Walk On":
ACNE GUY leaning toward Arum's open window: "TURN THAT FUCKING SHIT DOWN!"
ARUM his impossibly good mood intact, leaning toward the window with the single message "huh?" conveyed by his tilted head: "BURN THE DUCKY PIT DOWN?"
ACNE GUY, startled: "TURN THAT FUCKING SHIT DOWN!"
ARUM with a look even more quizzical, friendly and dopey: "SHIZNIT THE PARTY CLOWN?"
ACNE GUY, starting to get it: "FUCK YOU"
ARUM, now staring forward and smiling so wide his mouth is opens, nods: "YEAH."
Green light.

"Walk On" the Neil Young "Walk On"? Nice.
