Accident Statements ??“ Sent
in by Vette
Man Driver: I had been driving my car for forty years when I
fell asleep at the wheel and had the accident.
Woman Driver: The
accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of skid by steering
it into the other vehicle.
Woman Driver: I saw the slow moving, sad
face, old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car.
Man Driver:
The other car attempted to cut in front of me, so I, with my right front bumper,
removed his left rear tail light.
Woman Driver: I had been learning to
drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and
found myself in a different direction going the opposite way.
Man
Driver: I was backing my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it
was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times
before.
Man Driver: I was on my way to the doctor's with rear end
trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.
Woman Driver: I was taking my canary to the hospital. It got loose in
the car and flew out the window. The next thing I saw was his rear end and there
was a crash.
Man Driver: As I approached the intersection, a stop sign
suddenly appeared in a place where a stop sign had never appeared before. I was
unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.
Woman Driver: My car was
legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.
Woman Driver: An
invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished.
Man
Driver: I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I
found that I had a fractured skull.
Woman Driver: I was sure the old
fellow would never make it to the other side of the roadway when I struck him.
Woman Driver: When I saw I could not avoid a collision I stepped on the
gas and crashed into the other car.
Man Driver: The indirect cause of
this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
Man
Driver: My girlfriend kissed me. I lost control and woke up in the
hospital ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Women

Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86
year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it
published in the New York Times.
Dear Sir:
I am writing to thank
you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last
month.
By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed
between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the
funds needed to honor it.
I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly
deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in
place for only eight years.
You are to be commended for seizing that
brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of
penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.
My thankfulness
springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my
errant financial ways.
I noticed that whereas I personally answer your
telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted
by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which
your bank has become.
>From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal
with a flesh-and-blood person
My mortgage and loan repayments will
therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your
bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee
at your bank whom you must nominate.
Be aware that it is an offense
under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please
find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee
to complete.
I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I
know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no
alternative.
Please note that all copies of his or her medical history
must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of
his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be
accompanied by documented proof.
In due course, at MY convenience, I
will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in
dealings with me.
I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits
but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of
me to access my account balance on your phone bank service.
As they
say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Let me level the
playing field even further.
When you call me, press buttons as follows:
#1. To make an appointment to see me
#2. To query a missing
payment.
#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
#4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to
nature.
#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at
home
#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my
computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later
date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.
#8. To return to the
main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.
#9. To make a general
complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the
attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion,
involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the
call.
Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also
levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new
arrangement.
May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less
prosperous New Year?

Client ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When we moved cross-country,
my wife and I decided to drive both of our cars. Nathan, our eight-year-old,
worriedly asked, "How will we keep from getting separated?"
"We'll
drive slowly so that one car can follow the other," I reassured
him.
"Yeah, but what if we DO get separated?" he persisted.
"Well,
then I guess we'll never see each other again," I quipped.
"Okay," he
said. "I'm riding with Mom." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the lumber store one day, my friend,

how long a man lives on average," he said. "Can you show me where you are on the
scale?" Somewhat reluctantly my friend pointed to 50.

**** HEALTH NEWS **** Money, gifts, work, health increase stress
SALT LAKE CITY, -- Money, gift giving, health and workload
were identified by U.S. survey participants as leading
causes of holiday stress. Respondents were asked to indi-
cate how stressful certain activities were to them during
the holidays, and 78 percent said spending more money than
was budgeted was the most stressful part of the holidays.
The results came in a survey of 2,785 customers of
FranklinCovey, a provider of training, productivity tools
and assessment services. Seventy-eight percent were stressed
by selecting the right gift for the right person, while 69
percent said taking care of their physical well- being --
managing stress, keeping up a workout routine and eating well --
were stressful. Sixty-eight percent said managing workload
commitments at work in order to take time off during the
holidays was stressful; 64 said send- ing holiday cards or gifts
on time were stressful, and 53 said tracking expenditures to
avoid surprises when bills arrive was
stressful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doctors wary of birth-control
patch
WASHINGTON, -- Doctors have become wary of a
birth-control patch since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
issued a warning of increased hormone intake.
The Ortho Evra contraceptive patch, sold in the United
States since 2002, outsells all brands of birth control
pills, with 10 million prescriptions last year, the Wall
Street Journal reported. The patch is more convenient since
it only needs to be replaced once a week.
But the FDA two
weeks ago ordered the patch's manufacturer to place a warning on
packaging that women who use the patch get 60 percent more
estrogen than those on the pill because the hormone is
metabolized differently. That could pose a greater risk of blood
clots.
The patch is especially popular with younger women.
But a number of university health services have stopped
prescrib- ing it or are considering the step, the Journal
said.
Ortho-McNeil, the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary
that manufactures the patch, says millions of women have
used it with no sign that it causes major health
problems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Low-dose
Iron Best for Older Patients with Anemia
NEW YORK -
As a treatment for anemia in elderly patients, low-dose iron
therapy can improve hemoglobin levels just as well as higher
doses can, but with a lower likelihood of side effects, new
research indicates.
Anemia occurs when red blood cells are
insufficient to carry enough oxygen to meet the body's needs.
Hemoglobin, a protein in these cells, is responsible for this
job and its formation requires adequate levels of
iron.
The study, which appears in the American Journal
of Medicine, involved 90 hospitalized patients over
80 years of age who were randomly selected to receive
15 or 50 milligrams of a liquid iron compound or 150
milligrams of iron tablets as a treatment for iron-
deficiency anemia. As a comparison group, 30 patients
without anemia received 15 mg of iron for 60 days.
Hemoglobin levels were assessed on the day therapy was
initiated and after 30 and 60 days of treatment, the report
indicates.
Just 15 minutes after the first dose was given, a
rise in blood iron levels was noted in anemic patients, but
not in their nonanemic counterparts, lead author Dr.
Ephraim Rimon, from the Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot,
Israel, and colleagues report.
Regardless of
the iron dose given, the increase in hemo- globin levels over 60
days was nearly the same.
Adverse effects, by contrast, were
significantly more common with higher iron doses. The main side
effects reported included abdominal discomfort, nausea,
vomiting, changes in bowel movements, and black
stools.
"This study demonstrates that small iron doses, one
tenth of what is generally recommended, efficiently raise
hemo- globin and iron stores in elderly patients without
pro- ducing substantial adverse effects," Rimon's
team concludes.

LAST CALL Y'ALL
Two farmers at the feed store were discussing the local
election for tax collector.
One of the candidates was named Harkins,
who was also the operator of the drawbridge over the local river.
"You
gonna vote for Harkins?" the first farmer asked.
"No, I don't think so,"
the other replied.
"Why not?" the first farmer asked.
"Well, you
remember that prize bull I used to have? One day I looked in the barn and
there's that bull lying down actin' strange. So I asked the vet and he gave
me some medicine, and he said it had to be put in the bull's
rectum.
"I took the medicine home but I couldn't find a funnel. So I
seen this old army bugle hangin' on a nail in the barn and I used
that.
"Only problem was that before I could get that bugle out, my
bull passed some gas and made a loud toot on that bugle.
"Well sir,
that scared my bull somethin' awful and he busted out of the stall, made
another toot, then busted through the fence and went runnin' down the
road.
"He went down the road, runnin' and tootin' towards the
bridge that Harkins runs. That fool old man opened the bridge, and my bull
ran across it, fell in the river and drowned.
"Now," the farmer said, "Do
you think I could vote for a man that's run that bridge for years but don't
know the difference between a boat whistle and a bull blowin' a bugle out his
grass?"
