For those times when a simple sound won't do, and you REALLY need to let the other driver know you're there-- i.e., s/he's stopped in the middle of the road playing Travel Scrabble when you're (rightfully) barreling down the road behind them at 88 km/h: simply slap your palm down on the built-in Creme
Horn pad and a tasty, creme-filled pastry flies out of the queue in front of your Explorer and smacks into their bumper.
SPLAT!
Kind of like goosing them, but with a confection, and no personal contact.

More food for bad driving: jam for running a red light, custard for running an amber. [pottedstu, Dec 04 2001]

Granted, the ones who decide to play Travel Scrabble while on the expressway are the same ones who will abuse this feature (Travel Let's-Slow-to-a-Crawl-In-Between-Lanes-and-See-How-Many-Oncoming-Vehicles-We-Can-Peg), but the retaliation against them would quickly reduce the problem to those who can shoot accurately while maintaining decent speeds and (hopefully) steering, and those looking for free food. |

that's probably enough explanation. |

tr.v. Slang goosed, goos·ing, goos·es
To poke, prod, or pinch (a person) between or on the buttocks.
To move to action; spur: goosed the governor to sign the tax bill.
To give a spurt of fuel to (a car, for example); cause to accelerate quickly. “The pilot goosed his craft, powering away” (Nicholas Proffitt).

prod between or on the buttocks??? how do you do that while driving? Oh, I see, that's the point of this idea. Scuse me while I go and mumble in a corner somewhere. |

Beat me to the link, benevia. Curses! |

What if someone mistakes it for a bichon frise? |
|
| |
I was thinking of the bichon frise that got thrown at a car as a victim of road rage somewhere in US...where weird things happen. |
|
| |
By the way I was speaking to a travel agent today who warned me emphatically not to go to LA if I'm planning a trip to US. Am I to assume it is inhabited by pond scum? |

While dining out tonight I succumbed to the overwhelming urge to select cream horns from the menu. They were harder than I remember, and I had to probe at them violently with my dessert fork to cause them to explode. I concluded that they would be likely to scratch the paintwork on impact, thus inciting an even more aggressive response from the cream hornee. |
|
| |
Let me see if I understand you - You had to probe the horn before it exploded with cream? <snigger, guffaw...> |
|
| |
stop making me laugh in the office! |

[hippo] Yes, the bit of custard on the side made me do it. |
