Middle of the night, middle of nowhere, two cars both slightly cross
over the white line in the centre of the road. They collide and a
fair amount of damage is done, although neither driver is hurt. Its
impossible to assess blame for the accident on either however.

They both get out. One is a doctor, one is a lawyer. The lawyer calls
the police on his car phone; theyll be there in 20 minutes.

Its cold and damp, and both men are shaken up. The lawyer offers
the doctor a drink of brandy from his hip flask, the doctor accepts,
drinks and hands it back to the lawyer, who puts it away.

Arent you going to have a drink? the doctor says.

AFTER the police get here, replies the lawyer.
