Shit From an Old Notebook: Boomerang Fins

There are few situations more awkward than someone who wants to collar you to tell you about their weird dream. Nothing can jinx the old water cooler vibe than an unexpected plunge into your cohort’s psyche when all you want is a cup of coffee. That said—bear with me, now—this one was a doozie:

A neoteric visionary had collected hundreds of boomerang tips—just the very ends of the boomerang wing—and hot glued them to his car so that they stood up like little shark fins.

His rationale was: if he got lost, tired, or too drunk to drive, he could just climb in the backseat and the car would find its way home.

Hang on, is that actually how those Waymo self-driving cars work?
