A bulldozer and a VW van have an altercation in the middle of a city street.
         The bulldozer was angry at the VW van.  “Get out of my way!” he yelled.

         “But I’m not in your way,” VW van replied, “I’m just parked here off to the side.”

         “Oh, don’t mind that.  That’s just something I have to say because I’m a bulldozer.”

         “That’s cool with me,” VW replied.  “I know what it’s like to be misunderstood.”

         “But you don’t understand me!” demanded bulldozer.

         “That’s fine.”

         “No it’s not.  What if I run you over?”

         “Then I guess I’ll get crushed.  It just doesn’t matter until it’s happening.  What am I supposed to do, not exist?!”

         Bulldozer looked confused and a little bored.

         “Seriously though,” said VW, “You’ll get in trouble if you bulldoze me.”

         “I thought you were supposed to be such a rebel – now you’re calling the cops on me?”

         “I can’t call the cops on you if you bulldoze me, but someone else probably will, and there are other factors to take into account as well, such as karma.”

         “Fag,” said bulldozer before driving away.  VW van drove off too.  He was already going to leave anyway.
