Seriously though, unless she has the eyes of an eagle and the memory of an elephant, I don't think I'll be receiving a visit from LAPD.
I envision the interaction going something like this:
Buford T. Justice: What did he look like?
Smokey McSmokerton: He was a dude on a black motorcycle.
Buford T. Justice: What was he wearing?
Smokey McSmokerton: A black jacket, black full-face helmet, black gloves and sunglasses.
Buford T. Justice: What race was he?
Smokey McSmokerton: Couldn't tell, I only saw him from behind, for like 2 seconds.
Buford T. Justice: Ma'am, you've just described a little over half the motorcyclists in Los Angeles. What kind of motorcycle was it?
Smokey McSmokerton: I don't know... it was black. It didn't have any markings at all that I could see.
Buford T. Justice: What were you doing when the alleged assault took place?
Smokey McSmokerton: I was just minding my own business, hanging my arm out the window with a cigarette.
Buford T. Justice: So you were discharging burning material from a moving vehicle? (a rather serious offense in California)
Smokey McSmokerton: Uh...
As a side note - I've gotten facefulls of ashes and had lit butts bounce off me several times. As a smoker myself, I find this to be erm... rude.

CAUTION! touching some one, even with just the tip of your finger on the arm, IS!, "ASAULT AND BATTERY". [b]Asault & battery "touching some one, with out there permission"[/b] In 79, I was taking tickets at spook-house, at a carnval, a girl kept complaining it's a waist of money, "It won't scare Me." So when she stepped in the door i touched her ankle with one finger and screemed, She screamed her head off. later that day the cops came by and asked about it, I felt it was such a simple thing I talked to them and admitted what happened. the next day I was arrested for Asault & battery, It cost Me Over $1,500, just to get past court fee's & crap, let alone lost out on a good job in palm beach Fl., that would have been great money.
[b]Plus 6months probation. (Alot of money in 1979, & at 19 with no job.)[/b] [b][/b]

I was on my way home from work on the 405. Traffic was nearly dead stopped and I was lanesharing between the #1 and #2 lanes, which are very tight in this particular area. I approached a newer model Volvo and I see a woman's arm sticking straight out the window of the car, holding a cigarette. I couldn't go around because of how tight the lanes were. I did the standard "Rev, Rev" to let her know I was there, but she was too deeply involved in her conversation to notice. As the cars to my right shifted a bit, I was able to get around.
As a joke I extended my gloved hand and dragged my fingertips up her arm, starting at her elbow. When I reached her hand, I quickly snatched her cigarette and sped up. As I glanced in my mirror, I saw the most hilarious look on her face: eyes and mouth round and as big as saucers!
