Insurance Reports Continued is this week’s Mystery Question. I had fun with those, so I decided to do a few more.
But first the photo and verse. The photo was taken by my friend Sherry Shawl up around Pigeon Forge, I think. It almost makes me like snow…And that verse is the first one that came to mind when I saw the photo.
Now for last week’s Mystery Question: The following are short quotes from actual police reports; statements either taken directly off of insurance forms or things said directly to the officer taking the report. One is false the rest, unfortunately, are true.
- “When I told my girlfriend to get out of the car, I thought she’d wait until I stopped.”
- “I was taking my canary to the hospital. It got loose in the car and flew out the window. The next thing I saw was his rear end, and there was a crash.”
- And this one: “I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way.
- Or is it this one: “I told the police I was not injured, but upon removing my hair, I found that I had a fractured skull.”
And the false insurance report is…#1. 
I don’t know how the police officers kept a straight face when they heard the other reports, or how they wrote them down!
I liked last week’s questions so well, I thought I’d continue on with reports from insurance companies and police blotters! One of the statements is FALSE, the rest, unfortunately, are true:
- “The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.”
- “The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.”
- “I was driving along when all of a sudden I heard this rattlesnake in my car. It scared me so bad I ran off the road into the ditch. That’s when I found out it was my toddler shaking his baby rattle.”
- “The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.”
Okay, Super Sleuths which report did I make up? Leave your answer in the comments and I’ll enter you in a January drawing for a book from my library.

All so funny. I say #4
Author
So glad I gave you a chuckle this morning, Mary. We’ll see next week.
I’m pretty sure it’s #3 or #4 and I’ll go with #3 this time. Driving w/ drivers like these on the road is definitely dangerous–almost as bad as the traffic we just experienced in Israel.
Author
How well I remember the traffic in Israel! lol We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
I’m going with #3.
Author
Hi Diana! We’ll see next week.
Haha, you gotta watch out for those aggressive telephone poles! I’m going with number 3. It seems too rational compared to the other crazy statements.
Author
Absolutely! Those poles will get you every time. We’ll see next week if there was method in my madness. lol
I’ll go with #2.
Author
We’ll see, Anne!
The picture is so peaceful. I’d love to be where I could sit in a nice cozy warm cabin and view that any time I wanted to. The verse is a good choice.
I’m choosing #3. I can’t imagine anyone with a toddler not recognizing the sound of a baby rattle.
Author
I agree about being in a cabin watching the view, Edward. It is peaceful. And we’ll see about #3 next week.
These were all good! I’m going with #3, but I really want to choose #1.
Great photo of, what looks like The Pigeon River. Indeed, it is a lovely area,
…year round! The Scripture fits perfectly.
I caught that statement about almost liking snow!!!!!! Woo Hoo! 🙂
Blessings!
Author
The comment for almost liking snow was specifically for you, Barbara. lol I’ll ask Sherry where she took it next time we get together, either by text or in person. And we’ll see about #3.
Well, it worked! Made my day and brought forth the loudest YES!!!

We’ll see next week if it’s the popular #3, Judy.
These are all so funny. Hard to believe any of them are true! I’ll go with #3.
Beautiful and comforting picture and verse.
Author
Thanks, Kay! I love that photo–my friend did a great job. And that verse always comforts me. We’ll see if it’s the popular #3 next week.
I am guessing #3 this week.
Author
Everyone practically is going for #3, Gloria. We’ll see next week!
I’m going with #3 I love the photo and I love the verse you chose for it. Have a great day and a great week.
Author
Thanks, Alicia. We’ll see next week!
#3

Number 3 is very popular this week, Shelia! We’ll see!
I love the picture and the verse fits it perfectly! I am going with number 1.
Author
Thanks, MJ! We’ll see if it’s #1 next week.
I think it’s number 3
Author
Another one in the #3 column, Gail. We’ll see…
Oh, I love that photo! I would hate to get a “soaker” in that water. That Scripture teaches God is with us all the time, and is our constant.
Those accident excuses are so outrageous. I’ve got to agree with Vera. #3 is the most reasonable, barely, of the bunch so I think you made it up.
Author
Oh, me, Tim…that number is so popular. I’m glad you liked my photo! And He is always with us.
Yes, a lovely snow picture. Glad I’m not the only one who says, “Bah humbug” to snow. 😉
I’m going to guess #2 this week…but they’re all quite humorous and unbelievable!
Author
L, snow is so inconvenient! And cold. I’m glad you found them all funny! We’ll see next week if it’s #2.
#4. Love the scripture and photo.
Author
Thanks, Lucy! We’ll see if it’s #4 next week!
Beautiful photo for the scripture, Pat!

Thanks, Caryl! We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
