I usually find jumping a curb or driving thru a bar ditch will easily get them dislodged.

You'd be surprised (on second thought...no, you wouldn't be surprised) what truck drivers do at two and three in the morning to fight the boredom and stay awake...like "the point only counts if you get ONLY the third traffic barrel with the tail of the trailer"!

When we got bored with that one...it was pitching Oreo cookies (the fat-free ones...no real Oreos were injured in this game!) up and over the cab to catch the air stream and trying to hit the windshield of the truck behind us...twice, I've seen the perfect micro-crumb imprint of an Oreo cookie on the windshield!
