Insurance Reports

The following was published by an insurance company for internal distribution. These reports were submitted when policy-holders were asked for a brief statement describing their particular accident. The reports are claimed to be real.

  1. The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.

  2. I thought my window was down but found it was up when I put my hand through it.

  3. A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.

  4. The guy was all over the place. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

  5. I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.

  6. The accident occured when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle.

  7. I was driving my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before.

  8. I was on my way to the doctor's with rear-end trouble when my universal joint gave way, causing me to have an accident.

  9. As I approached the intersection, a stop sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.

  15. The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran him over.

  16. I saw the slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car.

  17. Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.

  18. The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.

Why Star Wars is not a kids' movie...

While it may have been a great PG movie, some of these lines could be taken the wrong way. On some of these you have to really stretch.

From the Return of the Jedi:
  • "Rise, my friend."
  • "Hey, point that thing somewhere else!"
  • "Not bad for a little furball."
  • "How can they be jamming us if they don't know we're coming?"
  • "Come here, I won't hurt you. You want something to eat?"
  • "Keep on that one, I'll take these two"
  • "I want you to take her. I mean it, take her!"
  • "I don't think the Empire had wookies in mind when they designed her, Chewie."

From the Empire Strikes Back:
  • "Possible he came in through the south entrance."
  • "I must've hit it pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh kid?"
  • "Hurry up, golden-rod..."
  • "That's okay, I'd like to keep it on manual control for a while."
  • "Control, control! You must learn control!"
  • "There's an awful lot of moisture in here."
  • "Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?"
From A New Hope:
  • "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."
  • "Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!"
  • "Look at the size of that thing!"
  • "Sorry about the mess..."
  • "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"
  • "You've got something jammed in here real good."
  • "Put that thing away before you get us all killed."
  • "Luke, at that speed do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?"
  • "Get in there you big furry oaf. I don't care what you smell!"
