He was just wondering how in the name of all things holy he was going to be able to bring the hurtling projectile to a stop (and forget parallel parking), when...
... a lamp post lept into his path and solved his stopping dilemna. After having ascertained that he was bruised but not broken, he classically walked away and nobody was hurt. At a coffee shop near the scene of the accident, he decided to have a strong coffee with an extra shot of espresso, to settle his nerves.

Jitteringly, he quaffed and wondered why this string he was visiting seemed to mix 1950's and 2000's cultures? The gas station was a throwback to simpler times, but no one could ever accuse a 2008 coffee shop of being simple. So many decisions.

Just then, into the coffee shop walked a dame.

"Who art thou?" she sniffed at him.

"I can see she is a royally dubbed dame, not just a gal," he thought.

"Your regalness, I'm a visitor to your modern American city," he answered....
