Good looks don't always get you out of a ticket, just goes to show ya.

My future's so bright I gotta wear shades.

Perhaps she spilled some of that shine on her hair, during this tragic and unavoidable accident!

"Do not ask her anything. She would not know. She is struggling now. The common sense for her is not there."

Or here!

Wasn't there a full, or close to, full moon sunday night? Bet that had something to do with it. Moonshine and full moon don't mix, makes the moonshine more potent.
