Oops! Got all sexed up over the cop, I forgot to add something!

This didn't happen last night...but several weeks ago. I came home early from work (had all my hours in) and was going to get some cleaning done. I was upstairs, in my bedroom, bending over a bucket of hot water and Lysol, when I heard brakes screech just outside the window I was in front of. I raised my head in time to see a little red car plow into the concrete mailbox (a mailbox set in a concrete column...2ft. wide x 5ft. high) at my neighbors house. The mailbox blew into pieces and flew all over the lawn. The car kept coming towards my house. It skidded to a halt just 15ft. or so from my living room window.

As Shar said...after I peeled myself off the ceiling...my heart pounding out of my chest...I ran downstairs and suddenly, I couldn't find a door to go out. My mind was racing...this person needed me and might be dead! I finally got to the front door and couldn't get the f***ing skeleton key to work to open it. I screamed at it and it opened...I ran out and over to the car. My neighbor was running towards me, shouting, "call 911...call 911". To my extreme astonishment, a kid about 18 y/o was climbing out of the window. His air bag had gone off and the front of his car was "v" shaped now, and so his door wouldn't open...but he was alive and climbing out of the car! I called 911...cop came...I let the kid use my phone to call someone to help him...the neighbor and I checked him all over to see if he needed an ambulance, but he was fine except for a scraped elbow and bruised ego!

Those air bags are miraculous! This kid shoulda been dead or extremely hurt...but he was fine!

P.S. The kid said he braked for a squirrel running across the street and his "doughnut" tire grabbed his car and spun him into the mailbox. I pictured the squirrel on the side of the road...^5'ing his friend and giggling...like in that commercial for Geiko (I think it is)...lol!
