The Dept of Transportation, in order to find out more about fatal wrecks and to find out what went thru peoples minds at the moment of crisis had Detroit randomly install "black box" recorders in trucks and cars. Unknown to the buyers.
In 97% of the fatal wreaks, the drivrs last words were "Oh shit". Except Texas. In Texas, the drivers last words in 93% of the wrecks were, "here, hold my beer for a sec".

Never apologize. My mother had some people who settled in west Texas in the early days,NW of Waco. (She was born in 1891 so that tells you how old I must be!) and my father and I (both confirmed "damyankees") never missed a chance to tell her an anti-Texas joke. I just wish she could have heard that one! She laughed at all of them - and my father told me (only half jokingly) that we "damyankees" were lucky that Texas couldn't send more men to the fight than they did!
