    Most people say that accidents are bad, and they usually are but I have a funny and strange story to tell you guys. It was today and I was driving my car home from the local Quanset hut (kinda a music/headshop) and I clipped the back of this guys car. So like any driver I pulled over and got ready to be yelled at, cussed at, and then trade insurance information. This is where it gets funny, the guy comes out dressed just like me (if you read my girlfriend post you know how that is, typical 60's hippy look) so I was surprised. He comes over and looks at his car, then at mine. He then smiled offered me his hand and says "looks like your car is pretty banged up, how's about we forget about mine and I help pay to fix yours. Accidents happen buddy and we're gonna get no where if we argue." I shit you not people, this is almost exactly what he said...maybe he was even nicer. I told him no, that I would let insurance take care of the problem, but he insisted that we would just both split the total cost of repairs 40/60 of both cars, my share being the 40 because he said I was young and it looked like I didn't need any more insurace payments and that I needed my money more than he did. This is where it gets hard to beleive, but I shit you not, he invited me and my girl back to his home to smoke a bowl with him and get our positive energy back up. So this bad day turned into me making a new friend, and he's great to listen to...he was around durring the vietnam ages so he is full of stories..and I gave him this site so maybe he'll be posting here someday. So has anyone ever had anything happen like that before, just something crazy and totally unexpected like that. I mean who would have guessed I would make a new friend by hitting his car...oh and he also invited us to come over and have dinner with his wife and him this friday...lol..I'll let you know if he tells any crazy stories.

    Peace,

    Al

    Wow that's cool man. I have never run into a hippy like that before. I mean, not so spontaneously. I know plenty of old hippies from this local hippy club that hosts parties now and again. Way cool man.

    I don't think it wanted me eating it while it was still alive though, otherwise he probably would have been that kind.

    Reminds me of an old joke...

    So this guy is having dinner with a bunch of farmers, and there is a pig eating at the table with three medals pinned to his chest and a missing leg. The guy asks the farmer what they're for and he says the bronze medal is for pulling my son Timmy out of a well, the silver one is for pulling my wife out of a burning building, and the gold is for killing a burglar here at our house. The guy thinks about this for a sec and asked what happened to the pigs missing leg.

    "well, you don't eat a pig that smart all at once"

    I almost got in an accident last night.


    I was staring at a guy who was walking down the street and I almost slammed into the car in front of me. Luckily there was someone in the passenger seat to yell just in time:)

    No, whenever I get into bad situations with somebody they usually want to kill me and I have to run.
