““He was too stupid to have seen me, the moron who was driving the red Ford while having his cell phone glued to his ear and primeval drum music pouring from his window.

I could lip read what he said, but by the time I could think of a suitable reply, he had vanished into the throng of Edinburgh traffic. “Away ya’ stupid statistic,” I called after him, but somehow the words changed to a frustrating vapor instead of fulfilling their intent.””
