Best Things to Do in While Stuck in Traffic (in no particular order):
- Sing soul-stirring music in a classically trained voice with a beautiful vibrato

- Mess with morons
- Consider the appropriateness of messing with morons at your age
- Decide that in this case it is warranted
- Try to keep the wife on the phone as long as possible while talking about meaningless things because if I have to suffer, so should she; after all, it was she who called me
- Reflect on the irony that she just hung up on you because she was too busy to discuss trivialities
- Try to convince yourself your feelings have just been hurt, but then remember you're a man
- Go back to messing with morons
- Check for more stowaways
- Berate the traffic
