This is so funny (I found it on another website):

The following are actual statements found on insurance forms

fewest words possible.

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

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

I thought the window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head
through it.

I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.

A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.

A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.

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

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

In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.

I had been shopping for plants 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.

I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an
accident.

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

As I approached the intersection a 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.

To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.

My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.

An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car, and vanished.

I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, found that I
had a fractured skull.

I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road
when I struck him.

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

I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentlemen as he bounced off the roof of my
car.
The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big
mouth.

I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by
some stray cows.

The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of its way
when it struck the front end.

HAHAHAHHAH!

Alex

come on, this is SO funny! somebody reply!

(...) I thought this stuff was humorous until I was involved in two auto accidents, one involving a small child. (1) Sorry, but somehow these don't make me chuckle any more... Cheers, - jsproat 1. Don't worry -- the kid came out all right. (25 years ago, 11-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I lresonate with Sproat's answer. Here's another one: I agree, it WAS funny, the first time I read it. But that was probably when I was about YOUR age, and I've seen it a few times since then.
