The Chairman
Chairman of the Board
Dear friends,
I am writing to inform you that I will have to rethink my participation in any up-coming Wreckmanias... especially if T-shirts are involved.
You see I was sitting patiently at a stop light today (left turn lane) when the lady next to me jumps the gun and pulls out into traffic, and caused a collision with three other cars. Yes, I called 911, and then I went to see who I could help 'till the authorities got there.
The little old lady seemed fine, but looked at me rather suspiciously... she also informed me of how bad the other three drivers were for not stopping in time. The guy in the Dodge next to her was shaken, but fine. The third car (a Nissan) was different... there was blood all over the place. The fourth driver was checking things out too, and seemed fine
So I stopped at the Nissan and started to help... she had hit the steering wheel with her face (no seat belt) and was bleeding profusely from several cuts and her nose was just pouring. I got her to stem the bleeding from her nose, as I used a towel next to her to apply pressure to her cheek... then see said it...
"You've got to be kidding!" she said
"About what?" I replied
"How did you get here so fast?"
"I was waiting on the light right there, maam"
"And you do wrecks a lot? I am lucky you were so close."
"No maam, this is the first wreck in a long time that I have helped with. Not that I don't like to help, it's just that others are already taking care of it."
"But what about the shirt?"
At this point I started laughing, for I was wearing my Wreckmania T-shirt. As I explained this to her, she started laughing... which made it harder to keep the blood from starting to flow again. As the first cop approached us he asked if she was alright, to which she said... "Of course, I'm being taken care of by a wreck specialist"... and then I had to explain it ALL over again.. and then again to the paramedics and to the other drivers etc. etc.
You see, your class has made me a marked man. No longer can I help those involved in a collision without having to take the time to explain why I am wearing this T-shirt. SO, if you guys can eliminate the T-shirt, I just might return... :tease: BTW, one of the drivers took a picture of me helping... he says he is going to send it to the paper... too funny.
