I Was Almost Killed This Morning

By someone who looked like this guy:



At 6:30am this morning, he blew through a red light, of which he was completely unaware, and nearly plowed right into me on the driver's side. Most likely he was on his way home from lunch. You know - Early Bird Special...

Attention old guy who nearly killed me: You owe me a new cup of coffee, money for dry-cleaning, a new car seat, and a new pair of underwear.

A note to the elderly in general: PLEASE STAY OFF OF THE ROADS IN THE DARK.

A note to the DMV: PLEASE MAKE PEOPLE RETAKE THEIR DRIVING TEST AFTER AT LEAST AGE 70. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!!!

does he owe you new underwear because you were so excited by him that you creamed the ones you were wearing?

That man represents 1/4 of the people driving on the roads of Florida.

its frightening, dry-cleaning inducing incidents like this that make me leave my coffee at home.
Also, I hear that Ritchie is down to her birth weight!

A man can live for hours after getting his head chopped off!


You're thinking of a chicken.


What'd I say?

you can present a claim for all of that stuff...make sure you tell his insurance company.

if it's jackson's car seat, they owe you for that as well as long as the manufacturer recommends replacement after an accident.

I am all for testing at 70. We all know things dont work as well then, including eye sight. But what i find even funnier is the old ppl that cannt see over the wheel and they think by sitting closer to the steering wheel they can see the road better.

Ubie, I would like to take you on a sales call. But first I need to plant my seed in you...

Momma Janks, I was actually being facetious. I said I needed a new seat because I was hinting at the fact that crapped my pants (which I did not literally do). But that you for your concern and your insurance advice :)

Honk, that reminds me of the old lady in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. OH YEAH!

RS: My hubby's papa is 90. He drives very well. But he's the exception to the rule!

John: Right-o!

Brooke: Yes, I don't envy your driving conditions...

KK: Is Ritchie that fat? What a pig.

Ubie: 364 days til the next pretzel day...

Momma: I was actually being facetious. I was alluding to the fact that he owed me a new car seat on account of me crapping my pants, which I did not literally do. But that you for your concern and the insurance advice :)

Honk: That reminds me of the old lady in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" GOOD STUFF!

kinda figured that's what you meant but thought i'd give you the intelligent useful answer...

if you had crapped your pants as a result of the accident, totally could've put in a claim for that...however, would've been the laughing stock of that insurance company's claims office!!!
