Jag har haft ännu en helt galet grym helg och det finns sååå mycket att berätta och så många bilder att lägga upp här på bloggen. Tyvärr hinner jag inte riktigt med detta för tillfället, för jag har två jobbiga mitterminsprov den här veckan. Istället tänkte jag så länge låta er få njuta av ett gäng sköna citat från en av mina studieböcker "Reporting for the Media". Kapitlet handlar om att skriva "ekonomiskt" och alltså inte överlasta sina meningar med onödiga ord. I slutet av kapitlet finns en ruta med hur det kan gå om man tar det här med ekonomiskt skrivande lite för långt. Jag skrattar så jag får ont i magen varje gång. Detta är verkliga exempel från försäkringsformulär när amerikaner sökt ersättning efter trafikolyckor:

"Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have."

"The other car collided with mine without warning of its intentions."

"I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head through it."

"A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face."

"The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him."

"I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment."

"In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole."

"I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car."

"I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident."

"My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle."

"The pedestrian had no idea which way to run, so I ran over him."

"A pedestrian hit me and went under my car."

"As I approached the intersection, a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident."

"I saw a slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car."

"I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I found that I had a fractured skull."

"An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished."

"The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth. I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows."

"The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of its way when it struck the front end."

"To avoid hitting the bumper on the car in front, I hit a pedestrian."

Håll till godo! Jag återkommer senare i veckan med bilder, filmer och alla detaljer från den gånga helgen.
