But the problem is that nothing you ever post is ever funny, for all types of humor.
And.... Back on topic.....
Glad you are ok man. I know how that goes, last July 1st at 6:13pm I rolled my 99 Ranger XLT S/C 4x4 with big mudders on it, when some punkass kid who had just caused another wreck 2 weeks earlier and still had his license, pulled in front of me. I could have killed him and T-boned him instead I took a chance locked it up for 150ft or so and ended up with him under the side of my truck. Rolled estimated 9 times as witnesses told me. My GF at the time got pretty messed up spent 3 days in the Hosp. and I got 6 stitches and was released same day. However moral is my FORD saved my life, I had my S/B on and had 2nd degree burns on my chest but without it and me holding onto my G/F during the rolls, we would have died.
The trooper who took statements and was 1st on scene said there was def. an angel watching over us because it was 1 of the top 5 wrecks he had seen in his yrs. The wrecker driver said it was probably the worst he had ever seen.
Needless to say, the only car I will ever buy again is a Ford. We have 4of6 right now and my rents want to get another when I have kids.
Glad you are ok, and yes, Fords are built the toughtest. The end.

When we rolled my buddies 3 week old 1500 chebby, drunk and running from the cops... non of us had a seatbelt on! (it was 15 years ago we didnt have seatbelt laws) there was 3 of us in treh cab. 2 complete rolls and when it stoped, non of us had moved an inch, we were all still sitting in teh exact same position, my arm was still on the window sill. Buddy next to me and I look at each other and are like HOLY SH*T... driver was still trying to run from teh cops.... back two tires had exploded but he was WOT burrning rims trying to get away! He wqas still burning rims as the cop cassually walked up.

No bruisers or scratches on that one.
When my a telephone pole jumped in front of my buddies ranger, if hed been wearing a seat belt it would have shoved teh steering wheel through his chest. he was bruised and minor broken bones.
When my brother inlaw went THROUGH a telephone pull, and then stopped by a tree at 80+ mph in a 89 S10..... (he says he hit the brakes and witnesses said he was only doing like 45 when he lost control, but he hit the gas by mistake.)
After they cut him out of the floor board, they said if he'd been wearing a seatbelt he'd been decaptitated when the pole ripped the roof of the cab and the dash off and not so gently placed it on the tailgate....... something like 45% of the bones in his body were broken. Sure beats being dead though.
There was nothing recognizeable left of the truck, looked like it'd been in a compactor.
