Facebooker jailed for LOL car crash post

I was twice almost killed on the road today.

Yes, it's a slight exaggeration. Yet, two different cars, at two different moments, tried to run me off the road. It was as if I had stumbled upon an episode of a Bourne movie in which I didn't know I'd been cast.

I was tempted to joke about it on Twitter. (I wondered whether it was a confederacy of dunces or a confederacy of exes.) But only because nothing was damaged, other than my brittle psyche.

However, had I got drunk and smashed into another car, disturbing its occupants, I might have felt differently. I might not have posted something on Twitter or even Facebook. I might not have included the acronym LOL.
