  One day the chief returned from a conference in a state car (the
university has a fleet for things like that) and the front end all banged up.  
He
said he had hit a deer and I asked he knew it was illegal to hunt deer with a
car.  :)
  He was not amused.

  Friend of mine and his bride-to-be were in an accident many years ago and
a couple of her front teeth were knocked out when she hit the dashboard. 
(Along with some other minor injuries).
  He always joked it was cheaper to marry her than to pay for the dental
work.  (They are still married, 50 years this December)
