My teacher caught me cheating on a test. She tried to give me a detention but I tackled her, took her chalk & gave her an F. Sheâ€™s been suspended without pay pending charges. My classmates set fire to the library & are demanding that we defund the school to make learning safer.

I am guessing there is an interesting story behind that one.

Had a friend who had two cars end up in his house before he moved. Perils of living on a corner where people 'backroaded it' from the bars.

Me, I'd have obtained some scrap drill pipe, sunk it in concrete about eight feet down and cut it off with about 4 feet sticking out and thrown a bollard cover over it, all the way around the corner, and listened for the crunch...

One of my old neighbors put a several-ton boulder on his lawn. After a collision shot the boulder into his kitchen like a billiard ball, he added a 3-foot tall, 2-foot thick reinforced concrete curb up in front of the boulder.

Like a billiard ball is the appropriate analogy, too.
That's the reason to put 2/3 of the bollard in the ground. Around these parts the drill pipe would be 4 1/2" or 5" in diameter, with a 1/2 or better thick wall. It would take bending two if you spaced them right to even get enough of a ramp to go over. Not likely, 'cause I'd fill them with concrete, too.

That is correct, and the billiard ball was exactly the analogy I was drawing. A one ton car traveling at 35 MPH has enough moment to roll a three-ton boulder roughly 10 MPH (accounting for the energy required to overcome the Static Friction Coefficient). The curb I described has at least half of it subterranean. The city helped him build it. They also added some nasty speed bumps leading to the intersection. I always assumed the homeowner's brother was the Mayor.
