What a shame the 'ol geezer gets to live this long and then ends up in this kinda acccident......My mom used to say: "why don't ya just sit on a bench and relax so you wont get hurt"........with my luck the bench would fall over backwards into traffic.

But that kind of accident makes you wanna just sit still.
