Golf Ball injury
Last night I was cleaning my XF in front of my home. I had finished the exterior and had the hood up cleaning the front part of the engine when I hear this loud...really loud sound. Scared the crap out of me for a milli secound. I looked around and did not see what caused the sound or where it came from.
Let me say that I was focused on cleaning the car before it got dark and after I heard the sound I went back to finishing. About 10 minutes later it dawned on me that something might have hit my XF. Sure enough on the front right fender there was a dent. When I examined the fender you could see the imprint and white scuff marks of a golf ball. I looked around the area and 30 yards away was a golf ball. The golf course is on the back side of the house. It was a direct hit, not a ricochet and because I had backed in to my parking spot I am unable to understand the direction the ball came from. Lifes a b***h.
Here is the irony.
I love golf and I love my SRT. I was sitting in the living room tonight talking to the wife and daughter and I mentioned about being bummed about the dent caused by the golf ball. The wife said it was a good thing the ball didn't hit you. It could have killed you. I looked at my daughter and we both started laughing.
Can you imagine dad cleaning his beloved car and getting killed by a golf ball. Now that's irony. We were both thinking the same thing.
What would my Epitaph say?
