I get a good number of "we understand you have recently had a traffic accident" calls which if I have time I am always pleased to answer yes.

At this point it gets transfers up the chain to someone more important, who wants to know what injuries I have suffered. I always like to see how many limbs I can say I have lost before they cotton on. I will normally start with arms and try and include legs as well, but it it is when they realise that I am driving a car without arms and legs that they start to think I may not be giving them a true picture.

I normally then get shouted at for wasting their time, the irony of which is usually lost on them.
