Apply Directly to the Forehead

Only dont.

Ironarre happening of the past few weeks: Lately I've been thinking--how does someone get into a head-on car crash? I ponder this daily as I drive along. Couldn't you see it coming right at you? Why, when it does happen, is there not enough time to move out of the way?
Well today [monday], I'm winding around a one way each way side-street with no median, approaching a signal and this SUV making a right onto the street swings out a little into my lane. I think its just a momentary mistake. My mistake. Thankfully I'm basically crawling because this idiot stomps on the gas coming right at me. I'm flabbergasted. I honk and swerve onto the grass, barely savings us both from catastrophe. It was so close a man who saw it pulled up next to me to make sure I was okay and if I needed anything.And guess what was playing on the radio? "Just Another Day in Paradise".Perfect example of the Ironarre. And thats the only reason I'm telling you this story. The Song and my Ponderings and this Happening. Quite the odd combo. No?
