INSURANCE Statements:
What follows are actual statements found in insurance forms where auto drivers attempted to summarize the
details of an accident in the fewest words possible. These instances of faulty writing serve to confirm that
even the most incompetent writing may be mighty entertaining:
- Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.
- The other car collided with mine without giving any warnings of its intentions.
- I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head thru it.
- A truck backed thru my windshield into my wife's face.
- A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
- The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
- I pulled away from the side road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment.
- In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into the telephone pole.
- I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
- I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have
an accident.
- As I approached the intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no sign had ever appeared
before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.
- To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.
- My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.
-An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.
- The pedestrian had no idea which direction to turn, so I ran over him.
- I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he
bounced off the hood of my car.
- The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small
car with a big mouth.
- I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later
found in a ditch by some stray dogs.
- The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to
swerve out of its way when it struck my front end.

Congratulations to the Lakeside Press Retiree Club on celebrating your 45 Year Anniversary.
Joseph Kozar Club Representative- RR Donnelley
RRD Research and Development after World War II
Throughout the 1950s, demand for printed goods put pressure on the company's capacity. In 1951 RR
Donnelley produced 136,638 sets of World Book encyclopedias, a 50-percent increase from the previous
edition. Between 1952 and 1954, the Revised Standard Version of the Bible sold more than four million
copies.
In response to these enormous jobs and an increased customer appetite for books, RR Donnelley's
engineering department in the 1950s began to refashion the binding operation, building seven automated
binding lines at the company's Crawfordsville, Indiana, plant that were modeled on General Motor's
assembly lines. With speed and precision, RR Donnelley could now print and bind more books, magazines,
directories, and catalogs in one eight-hour day than could be printed in a week just two decades before.
The same, however, could not be said about typesetting, which in the late 1960s involved hundreds of
workers at keyboards manually entering each character. RR Donnelley addressed this problem in 1967 by
forming the Electronic Graphics Division. By 1968 this section was using an IBM 360/40, the most
advanced computer of the time, and a RCA Videocomp 832, the only character-generating cathode-ray tube
then in commercial use.
Another advance responded to the need of Farm Journal, an RR Donnelley customer, to create editorial
content tailored to an individual reader's interests. The solution was Selectronic, an RR Donnelley patented
technology combining computers with automated in-line binding lines to assemble a flexible-content
magazine or catalog. If the Selectronic computer showed that someone lived in a high-rise, a catalog could
be compiled omitting pages of lawn-care products that would be included in mailings sent to suburban
homes. Selectronic technology also provided high-speed variable address labeling of magazines and catalogs
using ink-jet technology developed in partnership with the A. B. Dick Company, a leader in the field.
In 1984, RR Donnelley, through its Singapore facility, was the first printing company to link the United
States, Europe, and the Far East through satellite transmission.

> 2. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."
> 3. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food." > > 4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price" > > 5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room." > > 6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow." > > 7. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax." > > 8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared." > > 9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped > kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers." > > 10. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish." > > 11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun." > > 12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair." > > 13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller." > > 14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort'. We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service." > > 15. "There were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners." > > 16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning." > > 17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel." > > 18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."

Important Facts to Remember as You Grow Older:
Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
Life is sexually transmitted.
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the
internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of
nothing.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird,
and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Don’t worry about old age; it doesn’t last that long.
Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late.
I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.
And as I played "Amazing Grace", the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head was hung low, my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
Apparently, I'm still lost....it's a man thing.
