thank God iam alive

i cant say this if iam dead. can i? iam sure lots of things happen to all of us all the time. things that make us happy, sad, horny or just plain sleazy. but not too often do we get to bump into stuff that makes you feel 'Thank God Iam alive'.
i had a brush with death just a while ago and my only fault was to try and follow the traffic rules. i assumed the color of the traffic light, if it is red, is for me to stop my car. But i eventually found out that many in my city have a different opinion. Not only did i very nearly got knocked off by a screaming truck, but i also had to face a barage of compliments in the choicest of words from the truck driver who i assume is either color blind or must have had a bad fight with his wife or if he is not married his girlfriend would have ditched him or his balls must have got entangled with his legs. Not to mention the neutral or neutered look on the people standing by including the traffic policeman.
Now iam not too sure if Iam really happy to be alive.
cya later.
