I Think I Sprained My Hair
On my way to work this morning, the bus I was riding came extremely close to colliding with an SUV head-on. The SUV came from the right at a low speed and then rapidly accelerated in order to beat the red light. I didn’t see it immediately, but several people on the bus started making these ominous “oooooooooohhhhh” noises and yelling, and then the bus driver braked hard and the SUV flew by. It was a pretty close call, although I think the car was in the intersection by the time his light turned red (which would imply that the bus driver was jumping the gun).
I wasn’t too worried, since I was near the back of the bus and the bus would have destroyed the SUV in a head-on collision. One lady on the bus mentioned that the driver would have owed a lot of people a lot of money if the collision had occurred and another lady piped up with “If he hit us, I was going to say that I hurt my voice in the crash.” Ah yes… that definitely sounds like it would have resulted in a hefty settlement.

Nothing brightens the Christmas mood like a frivolous lawsuit. In fact, I think I am just gonna sue the month of December.
