- What happened, Danny?
- Car accident.
Nasty way to go.
Constable, official vocab guidelines state
we no longer refer to these incidents
as "accidents," they're now "collisions."
Right.
"For never was there a story of more woe.
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."
- Excuse me?
- Martin and Eve. Such a tragedy.
Mr. Skinner, do you mind telling me
how you know the identity
of the persons involved?
You know how it is. News travels fast.
A love struck Romeo
sings a streetsus serenade
- What happened, Danny?
- Traffic collision.
Hey, why can't we say "accident" again?
Because "accident" implies
there's nobody to blame.

It ties in with the time people went "Oohh I can make a bit of money out of this" ... and thus our blame culture evolved.
If you fall off your bike while stationary and, possibly , end up breaking a leg, is that an accident or a collision with the ground? ____________________ Honda CBF125 ➝ NC700X
