I picked up this story from the local paper...
Around here (AP) -- Vandals played a cruel trick on a Slaterville family at the start of this Halloween season.
A pumpkin thrown Sunday from a passing vehicle shattered the back window of the family's PT Cruiser parked on the shoulder of Route 96. The pumpkin crumpled the molding around the windows, bent the frame of the rear passenger seat and traveled far enough through the car to fracture the rearview mirror. All told, one pumpkin caused $3,000 worth of damage to the vehicle, and more lasting psychological harm to the family.
"You have no idea the trauma it has caused," said the Slaterville man. For him and his wife, the impact has been one of aggravation and minor paranoia, shaking a little of that sense of country tranquility. For their 2- and 3-year-old grandchildren who had been visiting that day, the result has been more severe.
It goes on to say a bunch of stuff about the grandchildren needing therapy or something. That's what they get for driving a PT Cruiser.
Anyhow, I thought some puns would cheer them up.
I hope the police ...squash...that kind of behavior.
The family should keep their... gourd ...up.
Orange you glad they didn't throw a bowling ball.
(True story, as a teenager,I threw volleyballs out of a moving car which may or may not have hit a guy walking on the sidewalk. I had a spare bowling ball once and I threw it towards a mailbox out in the country. I missed, but what's worse is that I couldn't find the ball afterwards. I'm glad they didn't dust the finger holes for prints. I would have been busted. I guess I could always claim that I was ...framed.)

you didn't seriously throw a bowling ball out of a window, did you? o. m. g.
What? Am I supposed to throw it though my window? Come on, dum- dum, use your brain.
