Wall what wall i see no wall
my dad one when he took out a gate "i was only trying to widen the gate with the car but as you can see it went a bit wrong"

I said this to the police once
"the reason i was speeding was my steel toe cap boot was heavy and it was pushing down on the accelerator i had no control over it"
i was told that won't do but he just walked off laughing  ;D
