| Thanks to the Smart Car, joggers are finally evening up the score. |

Investigators are buffaloed by a fatal automobile
accident involving the economical Smart Car and a pedestrian.
Photographs taken of the Smart Car at the scene of the
accident show extensive body damage to the tiny vehicle and none to the
pedestrian.
“I just don’t get it,” said Denial Johnson, the pedestrian
and avid jogger hit by the Smart Car. “I didn’t even get a scratch.”
Mr. Johnson was examined by medical personnel at the
scene and released.
Although the accident is still under investigation, police
have ruled out the possibility that the driver was already dead when he collided
with the pedestrian.
“Apparently he was texting at time of the fetal
impact,” said police.
From the smoldering wreckage of the Smart Car, police
recovered a smart phone.
“The deceased was still holding it his hand,” said
police.
According to police, the decease’s last text read: "Gotta go now. Have to beat a jogger to the crosswalk."
The Smart Car has recently enjoyed some popularity in
the wake of climate change.
“Especially among consciously minded consumers interested in
reducing their carbon footprint,” said Paul Waxman, a Smart Car
dealer.
Mr. Waxman quickly conceded, however, that outside the
consciously minded consumers that the core of his Smart Car clientele is still golfers
and circus clowns.
