My anecdote to tide you all over while I'm gone for a couple of days again:
My then-girlfriend, my nephew and my best friend and I were en route to the Summer Sanitarium 2000 tour in St. Louis, July 3rd, '00.
On the way into town, we were in bumper-to-bumper traffic going 70 miles per hour behind a semi. Suddenly the semi slammed on its brakes.
We were all but sure we would rear-end the trailer. Everyone began to brace themselves, including myself, as I tried to apply the brakes gently enough that they wouldn't lock up.
In the stress of the moment, anticipating a nasty collision, I, in a very slow, thought out, dramatic, William Shatner kind of way, I uttered the words, "SWEET....SWEET.....TWAT!"
The car came to a halt and we didn't hit the truck, but my passengers did not notice. My girlfriend had her head in her hands in disbelief, and perhaps disgust, and my best friend and nephew are looking at each other in the back seat, mouthing the words, "Did he just say...?"
...and those, my friends, would have been my last words. I can assure you that had at least one of the people in that car survived any such crash, they would have made sure that the phrase went on my tombstone.
