I had a friend in highschool who got into a car wreck once. He was hurt, but not in the hospital. I went to see him, and I asked him what he was thinking at the moment he got into the accident.

He said, "You know, I had a headache all day. But the second I hit the windshield, I had this sickening relief from it. The pressure just knocked it right out of my skull. I remember thinking, at least that's going away." He laughed.

I thought for a moment, and said, "But now there's glass embedded in your head."

"Yeah, well, there is that," he admitted.

"And you're actually missing some hair above your forehead." I added.

"Oh, you noticed that."

"And you've got a really bad black eye," I remarked.

"Yeah, I know."

"Not to mention your car. It's totaled, right?"

"Shannon?"

"Yeah?"

"You're not helping."

"Oh, right. Sorry 'bout that."
