One More for Dinner

Last night my wife and our friends decided to go into Camden and have a drinks and a nosh. It was snowing quite a bit, and as I approached the restaurant I spotted a parking spot right in front of the place. So I pull in and parked. My wife is in heaven, as there is nothing that pleases her more than to park as close to any store when possible. Well any who, we were seated, in a little bump out, in the front of the restaurant, right in the front window . We were having a good old time, with your pal being so dam charming, when all of a sudden I see this car sliding towards my truck and then ounce off the bumper. Evening is now ruined. I had to get on my coat and go out in the snow, first to see if the knucklehead was all right and then to check the damage on my truck. The knucklehead was fine, I think, and the truck had a little gash in the bumper. So I asked this person who just hit me for his information. And we exchanged info. I also talked to this persons mother over the phone and that she said she will take care of any damage to my truck.

There was a couple of strange things about the person that slid into my truck. First he did not have his lights on when he hit me and second, but more important, he had not cleaned off his windshield. He could not possible see out of the windshield. It was snowing pretty good. Plus he did not have his license on him. Gee what do you think the percentages would be, in that you would get into a accident because you don't have your lights on and you did not clear your windshield in a snow storm. I bet it is way up there. I guess I am just lucky that he wasn't going any faster, or he might have come right through the front of the restaurant where we were sitting. If that did happen my wife would have probably said" It's bad, but what a parking spot."
