I almost got hit by a bus once.....

So, I was thinking today of how I once nearly got hit by a bus upon trying to get into my car.  I was just minding my own business walking across the street to my car.   I looked up to see the bus approaching, so I scurried over to my car in enough time.  I even waved at the bus driver to let him know I was there, but then I realized that there was no time to actually get into the car because the bus was fast approaching.  I put my back against the car, shuffled my heels under the car and took a deep breath in.  VVRROOOMMMM!!!!... the bus zoomed quickly by my face with only about 10 inches of clearance and I was left feeling a little rattled by the whole event.  I mean, it is a common vernacular in life for us as humans living in this culture to joke that we "may just walk out and get hit by a bus one day", but one never really expects that to happen do they?  So, if I DO get hit by a bus at any point, can someone who loves me make sure that it is celebrated on my tombstone in some way or another?  A little etching or diagram would do just fine.  I just wouldn't want to pass up that type of irony in this little pinch of time called Life.  Thanks!
