The one one when I was on the phone...

"My dog just got hit by a car!!"

Dog was a bit bruised, but basically fine. Driver was a bit distraught. (Black dog on a dark night. Thank goodness our new neighbors were quick thinking and when they couldn't get the dog out of the path ofthe car, they shone their flashlight on her, giving the driver half a chance to slow down!)

My friend has one, when asked what she does. "I'm a pathologist." Autopsies immediately come to mind.
