So the other day, my dear spouse is riding down the road in his full gear, raincoat, hat, reflectors all over him. He is on a 4 lane road and the light changes. A cyclist in front of him goes through the light but he stops in the right lane. A motorist comes up beside him and screams at him "You people ought to obey the f#@%#$% law" My husband is stunned, responds, "Sir, I stopped at the light!" and the motorist says "him" and points to the guy disappearing down the road....
My husband (fortunately ) didn't say another word.....

Ooh, let me play!
He could have screamed back: "Yes! You people should!!"
And if the motorist said "Huh? Who, me?", he could have pointed down the road and said "No, him."
