I did not know that ...

Some of you may have gotten this same letter from Bank of America. It contains a startling fact. Quoting the first sentence in the letter:

"Did you know, according to the National Safety Council's 2010 edition of "Injury Facts",
thousands of people die annually as the result of a fatal accident?"

And some people wonder why the banks are in Washington begging for welfare.

Hmmm, I wonder how many people actually survive fatal accidents?

Higher brain functions at work. And please, no pictures. Unless you have some of that teller that, oh, nevermind...

My wife and I have observed more misprints/errors in print stories and ads in the last six months than we've ever seen in our lives.

I think it's only going to get worse as the generation that grew up with computers, video games and cell phones all get jobs.

I read that most fatal accidents occur within 15 miles of your home... so I moved.

The monkey roll is the only proven way to survive a fatal accident.

I used to laugh about the people in Costa Rica that couldn't figure the %10 tax without a computer, now I see it everyplace.

No, you don't have to die from a fatal accident.
Witch doctoring has improved these days, and they got cryogenics.

I got pulled over going 100 miles per hour. The patrolman asked me if I knew the speed limit was only 55 mph. I said yes, but I was not going to be out that long.
