That can't be right! I always thought that the faster you drive, the less time there was to be in an accident! And since they say most accidents happen close to home, my dispatcher keeps me far from home as much as is possible. And of course as I am zooming along, we have to remember Mr. Einstein's relativity theory, so I'm actually aging slower than people that aren't moving. I've got it all figured out, I think!

Go science! I just did a study myself, every extra minute you hold in a wizz takes 20 seconds of life off your kidneys. AHH!

LOL
Reminds me of this joke
Hillbilly Letter From Home
Dearest Redneck Son,
I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast.
We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of your home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last West Virginia family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have to change their address.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure about it. I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain. We haven't seen them since.
The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days.
About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Billy Bob said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
Bubba locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.
Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle.
Uncle Bobby Ray fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down!
There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened.
Your Favorite Aunt,
Momkickin chicken and jtrnr1951 Thank this. -
if that were true, there are ALOT of dead guys driving truck today!
Maybe they just SMELL like they died! -
Sounds like bad math to me. I figure that if I drive for one hour that is one hour less that I have to live!
If I lose 20 min for every hour that would mean I am 40 min to the good. So as long as I keep driving I should live forever!!Baack Thanks this. -
you must be using that "new" math! I dont get it. LOL
