Reminds me of when I raced motocross in England. 
	I had just crashed and was on my way to Hospital in an ambulance,  my
buddy chased down the ambulance (in the pit area) banging on the back
door, it stopped and the medic opened the door, My Buddy screamed "John
are you OK?"  I replied " no i'm all #@**^% up" to which he replied "
can I borrow your bike?!!!"
