It could only happen to me
I have
been known to exaggerate a bit in my life, but there is no room for exaggeration in this story. It was a night frought with error. Corey had just come home from work and was hungry. I had a busy busy day and did not feel like cooking. So I said I would run out to get us food (error #1 I should have just eaten left overs). I decided to go to Checkers (error #2 What was I thinking? Checkers???). It was pretty icy out (error #3 Why was I driving in a storm?) So I kissed baby and Corey good-bye and headed on my merry way. As I was pulling through the drive-thru my car started to slide and next thing you know, I was rolling down a large ditch until my car was nearly on its side. Yes, there I sat, crooked, laughing at myself like an idiot. A random guy came by and said for $10 he would pull me out (error #4 I should have called a towing service). And by the way...would he have left me there sideways if I hadn't had the money? After an hour, I was out. And the bottom of my car was broken, though I didn't discover this until a few days later.

Actually, I was also wondering... did you get the fries? Those jerks should have given you free food for making you slide into their ditch. I would have.
No fries. Thanks for caring, everyone. I'm never going there again. Unless Corey drives.
Thanks for paying me the $10 though...I went to Checkers with it!
You have the worst luck. Why is that? Now you have to sell a kidney to pay for the car.
It's probably all the grease from those fries that made the road so splippery.
