toto, we're not in kentucky any more.....

so, we bought a car today - woot!  however, while we're waiting at the dealership for all the paperwork and such to be prepared and processed, i look out the window and notice a car that's turned into the dealership, is smashed up on its front passenger-side panel, and is speeding toward the back of the dealership.  "wow," i think to myself, "that car is sure zipping through here.  i hope it doesn't hit our old or new cars."  then, i hear sirens.  three or four police cars with lights and sirens on blast thru the dealership lot following the car!  turns out, a man robbed a bank down the street, then tried to get away, but the police forced him to turn into the dealership, where he sped through to the back parking lot.  there's not an exit back there, so he left his car, jumped the fence, and forced his way into two homes before being shot (not killed) by police!  
kA-rAzY!!!
