The thing about 2009

When Nathan gets rear ended by a car full of kids who recently graduated from the school of the deaf in Rochester, cell phones turned out to be very communicative. Kids can text what they are trying to say and you can type what you are trying to say. This occurs before the police come for a report and you can type in reasons why you ram into a truck when you aren't looking.

This is 2009, and such automoblle accidents can't be made up. When you don't know sign language, text messaging comes in handy. This is successful, even when you're dressed for a Carnival Bahama cruise and standing in traffic trying to navigate oncoming traffic. You shouldn't text while driving, but you definitely should text when you have a hard time verbalizing what needs to be said.
