About a month ago, I was in NYC being driven by some software vendors to a demo site. (I was a potential client) We were in a minivan, in heavy traffic in downtown Manhattan. The driver is talking on his cell phone making sure things will be ready for the demo visit. We are stopped on this small street, waiting for traffic to inch forward. I'm in the front passenger seat. The driver and two guys in the backseat are bald.

There is a knock on the driver's side window, and I see a NYPD jacket, on an older looking cop. I couldn't see much of his head. The driver rolls down the window.

Cop: "Didn't you know talking on a cell phone is illegal here?"
Driver (In his natural British accent) "I'm so sorry, I didn't know. My cowworker in the back seat here told me it was okay".
Cop: "Oh yeah? Did he tell you it was okay to take a left on red back there like you did?"
Driver: Sheepish look
Passenger in back leans forward to shout out the window In heavy russian accent) "Excuse me.....EXCUSE ME!! Do you alvays blame ze bald people?"

Cop just laughs and says "Alright, get outta here, be careful". I didn't see the top of his head, but I'm assuming that the cop was bald too.

Illinois north of metropolis. Wife was driving south on the highway going about 65-70. A 10 point minimum deer jumps out and lands in the spot our bumber is going to occupy.
I went from asleep to wake before the body got over the roof of the car. We pulled over and my wife just sit there trying not to get hysterical(animal lover of all types, but not PETA).
The hood was smashed down and the radiator was crushed against the engine. The radiator emptied its guts in about 30 seconds. One dead car.
We had gotten a rental to drive from KC Kansas to Nashville for a week. For the first time ever we got bumper to bumper coverage, and less then 6 hours later the bumpers were a lot closer.
A semi pulled over and the trucker got out and asked if we were ok. I asked him to call the cops at the next stop and his reply of no need because one is behind you made me happy. Turns out a local deputy was going the other way and saw the whole thing.
He called the state police and a party seemed to start. He filled out a basic form, his boss and 5 others in hunting gear showed up in two more police vehicles to see if any meat was salvagable, all in camo as it was deer season. The female state trooper showed up and was the best help posible.
She helped get us a hotel for the night, and filled out her own state accident form because the insurance would handle a state form better then a local form. She wrote on it that she saw the accident and it was an act of God and unavoidable. As it was
So hotel room, insurance covered, and polite police made an accident on a lonely stretch of road a good experiance for me and my wife.
