The Birth of the Clap Award

The Clap Award came about one day while I was out with my wife, returning from shopping. We were stopped at a red light when I saw a driver opposite us take advantage of an advanced green to make a U-turn and proceed back the way he came. He then made an illegal turn, crossing two north and two south bound lanes. All this so he could go to the Tim Horton's coffee shop. I decided that such a bonehead moved like that required some sort of recognize, so I started clapping. My wife asked what I was doing, and I replied, "I'm giving that driver the clap." And thus, The Clap Award was born.
