This is a real e-mail from a college friend of mine who lives in San Diego. I've changed the names to protect the guilty. <Bracketed> stuff is my edits.
Here is another funny one for you. My <talented> wife totaled my car on
Monday during the crazy weather down here. She called me in a panic
saying she "was stuck in a puddle". Seems as though she figured she
could U-Boat command her way across a swollen creek in our neighborhood.
Not a good idea for a car that only sits about 6" off the ground. I
arrived in time to see the tops of my hazard lights blinking above the
water level and pushed the car out of the water with our SUV.
Thankfully the insurance company totaled the car as the engine was
toast. In the end, I'll probably make out better by getting the
insurance check (it was time to sell the car anyway). Just wasn't
looking forward to having a car payment again! Laugh it up boys!
p.s. <Lulu Bell> now has several new nicknames around the house: George
Washington, Daniel Boone, Captain Stewbing, Jack Black, Captain Hook,
Columbus, etc.
