Holy crap. I'd forgotten about this, but thanks to my mother saving boxes of old college stuff, I found a small notebook I used way back during my early journalism classes that included notes I wrote at accident scenes (I then used those notes to write brief "news" items for class credit). This one made me laugh:
I went to an accident scene where the police had cordoned off a gruesome occurrence where a male motorcyclist with no helmet had crossed the center line and went headlong into an oncoming semi. I was just learning to write shorthand, and I was/am a geek. So, what did I scrawl in the notebook?
"semi permissible man brain"
