Also known as the , "I think I need a bigger stick" incident.

Lauren, Nathan and I were bundling into the car one chilly day when I looked up at the windshield and said, "What is that?"  Upon closer inspection it was a pile of crap on our windshield.  Not a figurative pile of crap, a literal pile of crap!  In our carport we have a few sheets of trellis up on the rafters and we think a neighborhood cat has been up there seeking shelter, and in this case, had done a sizeable crap which had then fallen through the trellis and onto the windshield.

Nathan spouting expletives takes off his gloves (to avoid getting crap on them I suppose),  gets out of the car and goes to the yard waste bin and snaps off a stick about the size of a pencil and walks towards the car as if perhaps he is going to fling the poo skyward and elsewhere.  He approaches the poo and pokes it with the stick which breaks and he looks dumbfounded at the stick as if to say, "I think I need a bigger stick" to; 1. loosen the poo that was not flingable because it was frozen solid, and 2. to avoid getting poo on any portion of him!

He returns with a large extension handled ice scraper with a broom on the other end.  He hacked hacked hacked at the poo, and the ice puck of poo finally flew off the windshield to who knows where and little chunks flew on top of the car.  To top it off he was hacking at it with so much force Nathan nearly put his hand in the remaining residue of poo on the windshield.  By this time I was laughing hysterically inside the car, trying not to wet myself.  I could barely hear him over my laughter, "It's NOT FUNNY!"

We pull out the driveway and start driving down the street and I can hear the little chunks of poo rolling down the roof of the car, I look  behind me and there is a car and I am just laughing with tears coming down my face thinking of the other driver going, "Is that car throwing frozen poo at us?"

So maybe not everyone will find it as hilarious as I did, but even now a week later I can barely contain myself when thinking about it!.  Frozen poo…nothing beats that!
