Get this:
It's 9 o'clock at night here, and I've got a hankering for some ice cream, so I drive to the local Zesto's (an ice cream place here in Fort Wayne). I'm waiting at the drive-thru window to get my ice cream, and all of the sudden there's a loud "BANG!" And all you can see through the window was all of the girls who work there start running around and looking at something that I can't see from where I was situated.

Then one of the girls opens the window and hands me my ice cream, I ask, "What was that?" and she goes, "Somebody just drove into the side of the building, I think they're messed up or something! They hit the back of the freezer and there's water everywhere!" So I says to her, "I didn't know Billy Joel was in town," a reference that she clearly did not understand, so I pay for the ice cream and drive around. Now I can see the damage: There was a huge hole in the side of the small, bright-white Zesto's building, and a bunch of people sitting around trying to call people on their cellphones. There was even a some guy there who already had a cast on his leg!

There were two girls standing next to the SUV that crashed into the building, one of them was going hysterical and kept saying "Oh my god, he's gonna kill me!" Which was a good clue towards her being the driver (ironically screaming the same thing O.J.'s daughter was saying when she crashed her car) And her friend was trying to console her. So I pulled up and, while trying to hide my laughter, said "Do you need any help?" And the girl who's not crying just glares at me. So I drove away.

It's things like these that make my day.
