You get what you deserve.
Once upon a time there was an air-freshener and a hula dancer among other figurines that were on the dashboard of a truck.
And every day the air-freshener would clean the truck and freshen the air, the hula dancer would mother the air-freshener.
Until one day the truck driver slaps down a bobble-head dog next to the hula dancer. The dog is messy, annoying, and a schmoozer.
And because of this the air-freshener’s life has been made difficult; he has to clean up after the dog and is flustered and left tired. He’s being neglected by the hula dancer too.
And because of this the air-freshener gets so frustrated he decides to get rid of bobble-head dog.
Until finally the bobble-head dog unsticks himself, the air-freshener notices and causes the truck driver to swerve his truck and the bobble-head dog gets thrown out the window.
And ever since that day the air-freshener gets his world back.
