Advice to the lovelorn

Let us assume for a moment that you are a teenager, sure you are "in love" with a girl...preferably your girlfriend. You go to a party with her. You have an argument. She leaves. Let's check in with the internal monologue.

"Hey! I did not get my goodnight kiss!
(conscience) Possibly because we are fighting?
I want my goodnight kiss. I shall drive after her."

"I see taillights. That must be her. Now...what is the best way to get a kiss? Oh, I know....I will RAM HER CAR WITH MINE. "

So the genius put his plan into action. He rammed into the back of her car repeatedly, including forcing her through stop signs. But wait...this brilliant plan is not working...how can this be? So he makes the next move. Let's check his internal monologue.

"We just had a fight bad enough for her to leave a party and now I am ramming her car...why isn't she stopping to kiss me goodnight? I bet she will if I call her."

So he rips the cell and dials the digits. He beloved voice comes on the line.
"Babe," he says, "stop your car."
"But," she replies, "I am stopped."

So of course he rams her again...a little harder. And then he hears the police sirens so he takes off. Because, you know, as good of an idea as it was to ram the car of an angry girlfriend in his attempt to get a goodnight kiss, the better idea was running once he realized HE WAS RAMMING THE WRONG CAR. Well done. Maybe next time someone offers you a class in criminal stupidity and how to lose your girl, license, and freedom....tell them you could teach it.
