(Long Beach Township-AP) -- oad rage has prompted motorists in New Jersey to hurl fingers, fists and insults at each other. But a potato?

Long Beach Township police say Kirk Davis hurled a foil-wrapped cooked potato dripping with butter at Gary Baldwin.

The incident happened earlier this month when Baldwin pulled up next to his fiancee to ask if she wanted him to pick up corn. Davis was behind Baldwin and started blowing his horn.

Baldwin tells the Asbury Park Press he made a hand gesture and then felt something hit the side of the face. He wasn't injured.

Police discovered a box of cooked potatoes in Davis' car.

He's scheduled to appear in court on September fifth.

That is just too funny. It reminds me of the lady that thought she got shot in the head and was holding her brains in, only to find out that the can of biscuits in her car exploded, and one smacked her on the back of the head.

Okay, this has nothing to do with driving, but you'll see why you reminded me of this.

A crazy family we know were vacationing up in the mountains and staying in a cabin with a Jaccuzzi.
Everyone was soaking in the hot tub when one of the hubbies came to get in. He began clutching his gut & saying he had to take a sh*t. http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/tongue.gif (some people!)

Then he grunted and something went *plop* into the water. They all started screaming and climbing out of the tub. He was laughing so hard he fell and broke his leg. All because he dropped a *POTATO* in the tub from his swim trunks.http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/lol.gif
