Dear Stupid,
Thanks for not killing my wife. Sideswiping a car seems to cause a lot less damage than rear ending or head on. She is fine and managed to still bowl three strikes in a row tonight. Also, thanks for deciding to run into one of our cars when the kids were not in it. It is bad enough to think of my wife being scared by the situation. I guess I can take some amount of comfort in not needing to worry about my kids being afraid of the car from now on.
But seriously, how do you end up on the inside shoulder when the traffic is moving and then crash into five cars while bouncing off the concrete divider wall. And, how do you at times end up with two of your tires on the wall. And, then how do you just drive away like nothing ever happened.
Unfortunately for you, they have these things called license plates that help the police track down who owns the car. I’m not 100% sure, since I’ve never tried it, but I think that hitting a bunch of stuff with your car and then driving away is frowned upon. I even think they have some kind of special law against it.
I hope you have insurance so we can get our deductible back when the shop fixes the car.
I also hope you have a little extra money set aside so you can afford to pay your bail. Actually, I could care less what happens to you once they determine whether you have insurance or not. If you really need a few bucks, I’ll send you a pack of smokes.

I’ve been enjoying your blog for a while now – just lurking. I’m glad your wife is ok – and I really hope the law catches up with “stupid” so he’ll have something to think about. Mike
My goodness! How was she able to bowl after being in an accident? I hope the catch him and put him away for life!
Three strikes in a row……Did she get that good bowling every Easter since childhood? We,too, are happy she did not get hurt
and are thankful that the kids were not with her. Love MOM
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The world is full of idiots.
Thank goodness only the car was hurt.
Can you imagine how many fewer accidents there would be if everybody that could do their job at home was able to work at home? Rush hour would probably disappear. Car insurance rates would be cut in half. Fast food restaurants would go out of business.
What a dream that would be!
