An interesting take on common sayings.

"He who knows most, speaks least."
Huh, that's strange, 'cause I've noticed in a classroom, the teacher's usually the one doing all the talking!

"Back seat driver"
So I'm allowed to drive a car without a liscence as long as I'm in the back seat?  Cool!  Time to go for a joyride!  [smiley=evil.gif]   

But I'm pretty sure that when filling out the insurance it asks

Where were you at the time of the crash

It the back seat .
Not sure how they'd take that

It the back seat...

Which brings to mind an accident I'd rather shoved into the netherworld of my mind (hmn... maybe my 'nethermind', for short?); it was an incident that belongs in a cinema comedy. Once upon a time I had a small standard shift car and was heading to work. There is a place on that road where there is an "S" curve across a small bridge and I downshifted to make my way across. Exiting the bridge, about to make the curve in the other direction, I pulled back on the stick to change gear -- the knob came off the shifter! In the attempt to put it back on, there was a bumb in the road... I missed with the knob and the shift stick went up my sleeve. My head was now below the dash level and I felt the car hit the gravel off the side of the road, so I yanked the steering wheel the other way as I also used it to pull myself up. Finally upright and retrieving my other arm from its engagement with the gear shift, I found myself angling across the road with another vehicle headed at me; there was no way I could turn back to my side in time so I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt and jumped over the back of the seat; I don't think I quite landed in the back seat when the front of the car struck the embankment.

Although I did not see any humor in it at the time, Club508, my incident has a humorous aspect now. What is humorous about yours?

I probably investigated 500 and 1,000 accidents in my career. If I think about it a while, I can probably come up with several humorous stories, and quite a few horror ones too.
