    A friend of mine hit a cow on SH22. Loaded him into a vehicle and sent him to hospital. I then had to wait with the bike wreck in the baking hot sun (we had summers back in those days....it was 2006 ) for about 2 hours waiting for another friend to come and collect the bike after having searched for the cow for a wee while too (it ran off into the woods after it got a bike up the bum).
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Great suggestion - unless the tow truck takes more than 2 minutes to arrive, then what do you do?

    Well - it does make me sleepy - so a snooze could be in order.
