We were driving back from my grandfather's wake. My wife was at the wheel. I had a monster-size rootbeer in my hand.

An old man in a truck ran us off the highway. My wife crashed into a tree at rather high rate of speed. We hit with such force that we snapped the tree off at the base. The car was destroyed. My rootbeer was EVERYWHERE.

In the moment strange silence that followed the crash, I looked at my wife and asked, "Are you OK?"

"Yes," she replied, with tears filling her eyes.

My favorite car was destroyed. We nearly died. We were stranded in the middle of nowhere, and I could tell my wife was thinking that it was all her fault.

I stared deeply into her eyes, and said, "You bitch. You just spilled my rootbeer."

She started laughing.
