QUOTE : It was fairly miraculous that something serious hadn’t happened like herpes , AIDS , flipping over in my car seventeen times on Interstate 10 before it sailed off the side and came to a stop on top of a supermarket roof . My head somersaulting through the air , sliced off clean by the Ralph’s sign . My family would still demand an open casket at the funeral , so the mortician would simply tie a pretty scarf around the place where they had quickly sewn my head back on to my body . None of that had happened . Thank God .
