“This morning, I was in a car accident. A guy cut me off in a truck, a big garbage truck, the size of a whale. It must have been commercial, to take away material from construction sites” he said.
“It was the biggest garbage truck I’ve ever seen… Anyways, to avoid hitting him, I hit a tree. I hit a big, fat tree. It crushed my wife’s car. I crushed my wife’s car; I feel bad about that. It’s all fine; I’m fine. My brother’s fine.”
