Carl used to keep a Mobil Gas pegasus in his backyard, one of these:
It's a long story, but the short of it is that Carl started a feud with us, and we began using the Pegasus for target practice. Our weapon of choice was a funnelator, a three-man slingshot capable of launching water balloons, tuna bombs, and other delights with great accuracy at speeds approaching 100 mph.
He didn't fight back.
