Yesterday, as I was catching a ride home with a friend of mine, I noticed something small and chitinous crawling under my pants near my ankle. I tried to shake it out, but a few minutes later I noticed it at my knee. I tried to flick it away, but again, it resurfaced near my hip. Ack!

so, i suppose the moral of this story is be glad you weren't the one driving. :)
Next time, just squash the bugger. If someone asks why you're beating your own leg, just say, "That's where they implanted the microchip!"
