lesson of the day

there are two types of drivers who will not hesitate to run you over: scruffy men in hoopties (like one of the characters in "clerks") and young women in expensive cars (kelly osbourne). the first type of driver definitely sees you - and he is trying to play chicken or is just trying to piss you off; the second type of driver is simply a moron and doesn't look where she is going. both are a menace to pedestrians. but if you're broke, it's better to be hit by the clueless women in range rovers, because they have deeper pockets. if you survive, you will be more likely to actually collect on the tort damages. moral of the story: all other things being equal, it's better to be hit by kelly osbourne than a convenience store clerk.
