“My wife recently had a stroke.”

“My transmission broke down as I was on the road home.”

” I was riding my motorcycle and headed into Death Valley National Park when I took a curve too fast and went off the road.”

“…I couldn’t help but remind myself, I have no OnStar, and my cell phone just fell off the console from it’s holder.”
