you won't be talking with the same tone of voice once you have
experienced a traumatizing crash and suffer the rest of your life.
Like our much loved Grandmother did the day she crashed in her 61'
Ford pickup years ago. The guy who crashed into her head on was able
to pull her out of the wreakage before the heap of what's left of
their cars now stuck together caught fire. Later my Grandmother would
suffer from constant back/chest/ankle pains restricting her from
living the normal life. At least, until the day she died...

Friday already where you live.
Thanks for the laugh! You made my day. Still ROTFLMAO!
