This is my new friend Samantha. Samantha works at a little store in White Oaks, Alabama, a middle of nowhere type of community that I passed through recently.
The first thing that Samantha said to me was “I was in a wreck yesterday and that’s why I look this way.”
I hadn’t noticed anything, but upon closer inspection saw that a very pretty face had indeed been marred by an accident. There were several small abrasions and cuts on her forehead, bruising on her nose, and worst of all her entire right eyebrow was stitched together, almost looking like she had called Mike Tyson a bad name. I asked her what had happened.
She related how she had been four wheeling in her 1994 Jeep Renegade off road vehicle. She was only going a few miles an hour when the front of the Jeep went down into a ditch. The ditch was a very steep one and as a result the Jeep was almost balanced on its nose when it finally stopped its forward momentum. Another result was that Samantha, not wearing a seat belt of helmet, went flying face first into the windshield. The windshield won that encounter. Tough as nails, she got patched up and stitched up. Had she been a New Jersey girl, there is no doubt that this would have been an excuse to be off from work for at least 6 months with therapy included, a lawsuit and reality show to follow. Being an Alabama tough as nails girl though, she was at work on time the following day, no complaints, suit or reality show. Heck, not even a day off.
What do you say about THAT , Snookie?
