During my lunch hour one day I heard a horrendous screech-grinding-thumping crash on the street so I looked out of the window and saw a minivan laying on it's side on my front lawn. A young person got out of the minivan then stretched both arms high over his head and fell over backwards unconscious. I immediately called 911 and was informed that I was the fourth caller of this accident. Upon further observation the police vehicles, fireman and emergency trucks, tow trucks, and electric company trucks were all blocking the closed road. The minivan had two other passengers and all three were handcuffed and taken into custody by the police for being under the influence of drugs. The minivan was traveling at fifty miles per hour and veered off the wrong side of the road narrowly missing an oncoming vehicle. The minivan then was straddling and shearing the tops off of a row of two foot diameter sandstone rocks, severing a nine inch telephone pole, and snapping of a ten inch diameter tulip tree which fell on the road narrowly missing another vehicle as did the telephone pole. The electric wires were laying on the street and were temporarily raised back up to a tree as they did not break. After all the vehicles and debris were cleared the tulip tree stump was almost free of it's roots so I removed it for future use. Later on after viciously hacking on the stump a distorted rhino looking fish face was revealed and "Thump" was born. A slight blue tint was added to mimic a blue rhino fish.
