Big Bada-Boom!
You ever just have one of those days?

(Click To Enlarge)
So, I'm driving to work this morning - on time for a change! (It seems these things only happen when I'm on time...) I turn right, just past the Mobil, onto the service road into the complex where my office building resides. I'm driving west, as I do EVERY morning, but this morning was different. This morning was special.

(Click To Enlarge)
All of a sudden, this girl (we'll call her "Stripper Hot" for now...) jumps out in her Toyota Echo and HITS the front of my car with the back end of hers! Sounds hard to believe, right?
Actually, the rest of the story goes: She had the stop sign, I didn't. She didn't think she had to wait, and I didn't see her going until it was too late. I slam on the breaks - the iPod goes flying! (In case you're wondering, "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic! At The Disco was playing at the time.)
Long story short --> BIG BADA-BOOM!

(Hey! How'd that one get in there?!)
(Click To Enlarge)
Yes, I'm OK... Just a pain in the ass (figuratively, of course)...
I guess this was the impetus I needed to get the car in the shop for that back bumper mishap (from the OTHER day I was on time for work)...
(Oh, by the way - my dreams of telling my grandkids "Grandma and I met one sunny morning in August by accident..." were dashed when "Stripper Hot's" boyfriend, complete with "Gotti hair," arrived on the scene.)

Josh, it's not bumper cars! You aren't supposed to drive with the intention to hit things...

I heard "stripper hot" too. You think she likes going to strip clubs? I'll bet she does. In fact, I'm sure there are tons of reason why girls love going to strip clubs. Let me think....hmm........um........err.........hey Babs can i get some help?

Glad everyone is ok! Better get that car to the shop before you get in another accident LOL

Thankfully, yes, we're both ok... Brought the car to the shop today, and it's being dropped on 8/21 to get fixed (both the front AND the back)...

If anything can get Josh to repair his car after an accident it's ANOTHER accident. ;)
Jeff - I'm still working on those reasons...

"If anything can get Josh to repair his car after an accident it's ANOTHER accident. ;)"
So sad but true...At least nobody can point and laugh anymore... (Not at the car, at least!)

Well, you did have appointments before. I'll believe it when I see it (car being repaired). LOL
By

I never had appointments to get the car fixed before...
No need to go all Sammy on me, Trippster... lol

I think that Sammy sourpuss is gone since the bar is over, I mean we all hope he is.

Its ok, we have all been distracted by "stripper hot" at one time or another. The boyfriend showing up does have its advantages though; it is like a preemptive shot of penicillin. "Stripper hot" is good for looking at, not touching.

You call it being a sourpuss, for those of us who know you...we call it reality!
