MISSING ARM

This is for all the drivers out there who think it's cool to hang their arm out of the car window whilst cruising around. A man was doing just that while driving in his convertible along a Californian highway one sunny day. With his shades on, the stereo blasting and his arm hanging languidly out of the window, the young man failed to notice a shovel protruding from a flat-bedded truck coming the other way. As they passed, the shovel struck his arm and ripped it out of the socket. With barely a swerve, the man continued driving seemingly unfazed. He drove for over ten miles until he stopped at a petrol station, shocking other customers as they spotted his bleeding shoulder. It wasn't until he attempted to unscrew the petrol cap on his car that he looked down and realised his arm was missing. He told doctors at the hospital that he had no memory of the accident.
