We should sue the gubment for gross negligence. They *know* the poles are dangerous, but they keep putting them up. I smell a lawsuit.

Boy howdy. You should see what happened to the car.

I was still pretty young and malleable so I just spent a few days in the hospital and was a-okay. Probably...

If I had a penny for every thought I had that you didn't, I'd have a couple of pennies.

I hit a guardrail many moons ago that launched me into the air, car did a barrel roll before landing on it's roof and tumbling for a bit. Oddly enough, it landed in a ditch as well (so we've all been in ditches it seems) with the cd layer still going. Guy that witnessed it said it looked like a Steve McQueen movie.

I messed up my shoulder, but other than that I walked away, after the ambulance ride to the hospital.
