I Got Hit By a BUS! Really!!

[Carpenter]

I used to use the terms, "If I get hit by a bus..." or "Man, I feel like I have been hit by a bus!"

Well, it happened this morning, I really and honestly got hit by a bus...a big yellow one...and with kids on it.

Turns out this young kid driving didn't realize she couldn't fit the bus between me and the turn lane curb and smashed into the back of my LandCruiser!

I saw her coming in the mirror, then turned around to see, and BAM!!! Twisted up my shoulders and my lower back, not to mention all the other PITA stuff I have to go through now...

So, I can say, I have been hit by a bus...and it was not fun, luckily, I didn't

I'm so sorry, but at least it was a Mack truck!

I wish it had been a FEDEx or UPS truck!

Glad you're okay Carp. How's the LandCruiser? Or should we ask?

How are the kids in the bus?

...most anything for my wife to be able to live the life of a rich woman...although Brother Fred wouldn't wait until I assumed room temperature to begin hitting on old Carpenter's widow.

They were little grade schoolers, laughing. I am soooo glad because we all know that 1st graders loooove telling their parents the truth about car accidents and who was at fault!

Blasted driver's side back corner is trashed. Needs a new...well, everything.

Well, at least it confirms you've got a hot wife!
