Can you hear me now?

This made my day a couple of months ago:

I am coming out of my morning coffee place in a nice residential neighborhood in Santa Monica and see a woman in a giant SUV yakking on her cell and not paying attention and she lurches forward (against a red light) and hits and knocks down a guy in the crosswalk who is maybe 50 years old and in very good physical shape. She gets out of the car and runs to see if he is OK, he grabs the cell phone out of her hand, throws it on the ground and STOMPS it into smithereens and then says to her, calmly: "I spend 8 years in Russian jail, KGB could not kill me, you think YOU can? Hah!" and walks away.

She almost crapped herself while several of us on the curb gave the guy a standing ovation. Thankfully, no one got all politically correct and called the cops as they would probably have arrested HIM for assault.
