Call Judge Wapner, I want do see them squirm.....

Well, for those of you following the drama of my bruised fender...

The insurance company had originally said that they weren't liable for the
damage to my car, but that they hadn't even seen the police report yet
(how'd they come to that conclusion, one wonders?)  Well, I faxed them my
copy of the police report, and they have now come to the conclusion that I
am 50% liable.  I was driving through a parking lot and this kid backed into
me!  What was my fault?  Being there?  Anyway, we're going to court.

The "witnesses" said that I was speeding.  Well, you all drive old
Volkswagens, I couldn't have been speeding when I had just made a left turn
and then a right turn, and I was recovering from that right turn.  I need to
prove this.  I'm thinking maybe I should get a notary public to ride with me
as I take those turns as fast as I can.  Only problem being that I'd rather
do it late at night, and how many NP's work graveyard?  Anyone have any
better ideas?

At any rate, the police report speaks for itself, and I think that merely
filing in small claims ought to provoke them into cutting my check.  Keep
those fingers crossed for me...if I don't win this cut-and-dried case, I'm
going to just go stark-raving mad and get it over with!  :)
