I start a business to install two horns on your car: a friendly horn and an angry horn. So when you want to say “Excuse me, will you please let me in?” or “You’ve got the right of way,” or “I recognize you and request your attention!” there is the friendly horn. The angry horn is for when you hate everyone in front of you.
I realize there are bugs to be worked out, chiefly, when you’re reaching for a horn, you rarely have time to deliberate what level of emotion you’re putting behind it. This is okay, because we can install a third horn for that.

My Latest Million Damn Dollar Idea

I'll take one. That would come in quite handy in Philadelphia. It's possible though that the label would get rubbed off of one of the horns far quicker than the other...
Actually, I very rarely use the horn I've got, so would it be possible to remove the one existing horn and install something else in its place? Like maybe a mini-fridge... I'd get more use out of that.
In my experience, heavy-handed horn habits are more of a Northeast urban phenomenon. People in the South, Midwest, and Northwest U.S. seem to get along fine with minimal horn usage. For instance, in Seattle it is customary to refrain from using one's horn until a pedestrian is, technically, bouncing off your hood.
So in the interests of starting on my second million damn dollars, we'll get right on the mini-fridge. (Which will have its own horn in case you ever drive to Philadelphia.)
Replacement labels will be offered at a reasonable price for loyal customers, Jon.
Since it was my idea, I expect to receive an adequate portion of the profits. You can send checks in my name to my brother.
