FIMM was involved in an accident the other day. As required, FIMM called his Insurance Claims Department and spoke with one of the Claims Reps in order to report it.  Here is his report:
 
Claims Rep: Blogger's Insurance Company.  How may I help you? 
 
FIMM:  I need to report an accident I had that I didn't think I would ever have.
 
Claims Rep:  Ok Sir.  Can I have your name and policy number? 
 
FIMM:  FIMM.  Policy number BICFIMM12345
 
Claims Rep:  OK FIMM.  Can you tell me how the accident happened?
 
FIMM:  Yes Ma'am.  I had been driving for 20 years when I fell asleep at the wheel.  I had been shopping for a gift for Bonnie all day and was on my way home.  As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.  A sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before.  I was attempting to swerve out of its way when a fly flew into my window.  In my attempt to kill the fly, I drove into wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.
 
Claims Rep:  So was it a single car accident then?  Or did the other car hit you?
 
FIMM: Well, Ma'am.  After I hit the tree, an invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.

Not surprisingly, FIMM was on the phone a while longer!

About Me

I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to homeschooling and sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll share news items, quotes, family friendly humor, tips, trivia, and my newest feature: Question of the Week. I invite you to come share your thoughts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11
