A funny thing happened to a friend of mine yesterday evening.
While she was walking with her husband and two young boys, a speeding car lost control and collected her on the footpath, then threw her 10m into the air and straight through the closed front door of a nearby house.
Her husband heard the screech of tires and turned in time to see the car hit his wife.
He believed he was watching her die.
If he hadn’t started a running race with his boys just seconds earlier, they all would have been hit as well.
Ambulance officers don’t know how she survived. She doesn’t even have any broken bones. Just lots of bruises. Oh, and about 61 stitches.
She was discharged from hospital last night.
Come to think of it, that wasn’t a very funny thing at all.
The driver of the car has been charged with being a stupid boy-racer fucktard.
