Like The Soothing Sounds of Seagulls

Keeler was asleep in the back seat and had been for about 3 hours. It took him approximately 15 minutes after we left to fall into a deep, softly snoring sleep.
I could barely see through the windshield. Huffman had an idea: You don't have to stop to pick up wiper fluid. If it gets bad, we can use this bottle of water.
Ok. That makes sense.
We probably should have woken up Keeler to let him know that we'd be opening the window. But when you're going 90 mph in the fast lane, those kind of details (politeness, common decency, physics) escape you. He didn't stir much at first. Huffman hung her arm out the window; flicked once, twice, three times a lady, and that 20 ounces of liquid came right back at her face in a 90 mph bullet made of water.
It was the most beautifully executed act of science I have ever witnessed. God bless us, Everyone.
