Driving in this morning, I noticed a woman driving 65 mph with her face up next to her rearview mirror, putting on her eyeliner!  The next thing you know, she was halfway in my lane, putting on her make-up.
 
She scared me so much that I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of the other hand.  In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my cell phone out of my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs, ruined my phone and soaked my trousers.  All because of that crazy woman driver!
