Last words???

[Hatched69]

I am beginning to regret it, as well. It wasn't meant to be boastful or tempt death. I just had this really bad feeling about tonight... and posted my thoughts on it.

Well, look at it this way, you're still alive! Best off you put the ordeal behind you (even though you might have trouble getting it out of your mind) and look forward to tomorrow.:tongue:

I think mine would be for Mason to "fuck me harder!!!"

I just wanted to let everyone know.... and this is serious.

I nearly died tonight on the road to school.

My roommate and I were driving on this road, and it was snowy... there was a transport truck going very slowly and people were passing him like crazy.. I began to pass as so many others had.. barely exceeding 50km/h.

Suddenly, my car began to ride the snow, and fishtail a bit, my rear end was aimed for the truck. I corrected, but the car was out of control. We were crossing a bridge. I managed to notice that we were about to ram the bridge edge and fall into the valley (40 feet down).

Somehow I corrected again, we did a 180 and ended up parked sideways across two lanes of road. My car stalled out in the middle, so I pushed it off to the side with the help of a friendly trucker. I managed to start it again, and after a moment of sitting, we drove off.

I have never had something like this happen and I can honestly say, ( though, I didn't tell my roommate, who stayed in the car the entire time) we were about 10 feet from crashing off the bridge.

And here is the kicker... My "last words" were:

Oh there is no way this can happen.

I am still shaking. Clearly, I arrived.. but, it was traumatic.

OMG!! Jeff, I'm so glad that it didn't happen! How scary, and what an incredibly terrifying experience it must have been for you. I'm glad that you are alright and hope that you are feeling less shaken now.:smile:

Since I am such a momma's boy, I'm sure I'd call out for my mom in my last words. I'm the baby in my family and have always been spoiled and treated like a child. In fact, I've always replied (even now as a grown-up) "yes, mommy?" to my mom whenever she calls me "baaay-bee.":redface::biggrin1:

Jeff, I'm glad you survived the mishap. However, the lesson you need to take away is to work on those last words: you never know when you'll need that final bon mot that can then be engraved on your tombstone.

Take care

I hope you will drive slowly as the truck did Jeff. Better to get there in one piece than to risk speed and overtaking on those slippery roads.

Be careful out there.

If you two were snowed in...I shudder to think.

If those two were snowed in, I think nature would find a way for two men to conceive. LOL

Well, someone has to find a way of breeding a new generation of elves to help out Santa.

"Mmmmmmm, niiiiiiiiiice.... but your sister was tighter."

And btw, where the hell were you driving, Kenora? I was driving all over the GTA today with no issues.

 

[StMonkey]

"Mmmmmmm, niiiiiiiiiice.... but your sister is tighter."

"Mmmmmmm, niiiiiiiiiice.... but your brother is tighter."

 

[rob_just_rob]

"Mmmmmmm, niiiiiiiiiice.... but your brother is tighter."

Yup, it works pretty well with any family member. Lex could use "... but your daddy is tighter", for example.

 

[joyboytoy79]

"Hey, what did you say your name was?"

I was about an hour north of Huntsville, Rob. Fucking snow storm.

Well, I'm glad you're ok. I don't go north of Newmarket in winter; that's why.

And for future reference, remember that cottage season is May-September. :wink:

Well, Jeffy,

Reading what sparked this...

I had a chillingly similar situation on the 401, about 2-3 years or so ago, during that "worst Holiday storm, ever". Blinding snow, ice, deep in the night, a truck, and a near miss with a bridge, going about 20-25Km/hr, with visibility about 5-10 FEET (a times, couldn't see beyond the hood of my own car), following behind a trunk, and having a loss of control, and a toss up between hitting the concrete approach to the bridge, or going down a cliff to icy water.

Trying to regain control, I said, "No, no, no, I'm not even supposed to be here," before coming to a stop, just inches from doom. (Heading from Michigan to Brampton to see friends on a whim, in a rented car what wasn't supposed to leave the state, and definately not the country )

I think I know just the bridge you are talking about..... Scary shit, man. Good to hear you made it as well.
