On a similar note, a few years back my friends (loaded to the gills) pick me up and we proceed to hit a few bars before rounding out the evening at a Denny's all-nite dinner. After dining-and-dashing (unbeknownst to me), all five of up pile into his jeep and he tears off in the parking lot. On the second wild turn, the vehicle hits a pothole and sends the vehicle into a clockward roll, slamming each side hard until it finally ended up resting on the driver-side.

The final exam is the toughest. You have to get out while you're young. Alcohol is the next Air Bag. To avoid the cops, hang with your buddy's girl. You never know when you'll meet a friend. And always, ALWAYS be wary of April Fool's Day!

- My best friend apparently departed the vehicle mid-roll. He was discovered, alive and uninjured, on the grassy knoll 50 feet away.
- Being the most sober out of the five, I suffered the most damage with bruises up along my left arm. Surprisingy, I didn't lose my fingers, even though I gripped the rollbar by instincts None of us had our seatbelts on.
- The accident report lists there being four occupants in the acident. I was not on the list since I was comforting the driver's girlfriend, who had opted to walk home.
- Before the cops came, the driver wanted to right the vehicle and take off, and several patrons helped. One of them was a friend I would meet in the future.
- Lastly, When we looked at the bill (which my friend still has to this day) the event occured within the first hours of April 1st...
