Have you ever ran a red light while fixated on someone attractive?...
...I did once in Atlanta. An absolutely beautiful young lady was jogging next to my car, and in my delirious state while watching her, I ran right through the red light. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

My wife, who was in the passengers seat, has never let me forget that moment...

9. Was that you?
I got rear-ended when the moran behind me was watching police work, but it was on the same side of the road. My car got thrown into the car in front of me. It was the end of my car.

:hi:

of him without ever touching his brakes.

8. Once, but it wasnt like that
I was on a "not a date" date with a gal I fancied. It was towards evening, in a small town. We hit the light, we were chatting. All is good, I stopped as one does at red lights. I do not know what happened next, but with nary a single car behind, in front, nor on the cross street, nor a single pedestrian, onlooker, biker, or any other living soul, not so much as a stray dog in view, the light stayed red for aproximately 10 minutes. 3 songs on the radio. So I purposefully ran the red, cause I didn't know if it was ever gonna change.

Those first "not a date" dates can be very stressful.

15. no - but -
in my younger days I was a jogger type. One wintry night I was running in the large U gym, following a shapely young lady from a safe distance.
I was sure of my footing indoors. Well, while I was fixated on the sight in front of me, workers had pulled out the wrestling mats. They were still rolled up when I hit them and took a header into the cement floor.
I only hurt my knee and was able to walk by the time I got home to my wife.
The workers - I thought one was going to die he was laughing so hard.
