Stone chips

Annoying arnt they. This stone got thrown up 5ft today,bounced twice and chipped a new car . Anyone fancy it hitting their helmet .

Good grief. Not so long ago humans would have skinned a wild gnu with a rock like that

That is more than a chip - more like a whole potato.

It got caught between the two tires of a small truck . I heard it go past clunk ,clunk ,clunk .No sooner than i thought "thats not good" pow it
gets thrown out . Offered it to the driver of the car it hit ( wheel rim i think ) strangely he didnt want it .Dont know why its a perfectly good rock .

That rock would look good in BLACK gus.

I once came up behind a truck in a work ute and wondered what the hell was stuck between the duells on the right hand side. I soon found out when it dislodged and luckily I moved my head to the left in a hurry. The rock, (about the size of a grapefruit) came straight through the windscreen and broke off the headrest behind me. It was quite an experience.

I once had 2 rocks fling out of the dual tyres on a logging truck just as I pulled out to pass him, they hit the left side of the windscreen & left thousands of shards of glass stuck in the back of the vinyl seat. It was overcast & wet road at the time, so no sunnies on, glad I'd pulled out to pass him, otherwise might've hit my side of the screen!

Makes the Sphincter snap shut real tight, doesn't it mate.
