Sometimes politeness does not pay. Last night I was letting a car pass through a narrow corridor which could not fit two cars simultaneously when I was fouly struck from behind by a dasterdly young driver of a 15-year old caravan. I was coming back from dropping off my kids to the theater to watch, ironically enough,
Taledega Nights - which, as they laughingly told me on the way home, features cars flipping end over end through the air for so long that they go to a commercial break and come back to see the cars still flipping. Yeah, they thought this was all funny.
I, however, have whiplash from having my neck snapped forward and back at 30 mph! And, since we live in the Wild West where laws are seen as a hindrance to moral responsibility, the girl had no insurance on her vehicle.

Okay, so the whiplash demo is making me crazy.
