This is hysterical, but it's all how you look at it.

Watch this first, then come back and read the rest. It doesn't matter that it isn't in English; you'll get the point.

Many of you have probably seen this before as it made the rounds in emailed jokes. I laughed my head off the first time I saw it.  Now having watched the video, perhaps you will understand why I compare myself to the driver in the car.

I was zooming along, thinking life was grand and all was well then...completely unexpectedly, I hit a "bump in the road" and went flying into the air, end over end, not knowing which end was up (I know which one of MY ends was up). 

Kaboom! Crash landing! Did the driver make it out alive? Did the driver collect a nice insurance payment and buy a really cool new car? Or did the driver break every bone in his/her body and end up in a coma or worse? We don't know. But the end of the video is not the end of the story (metaphorically speaking). I'm right there....flipped end over end, having crash landed, waiting to see how I fare after hitting this "bump in the road." I hope I laugh too when I look back. That would be grand.
