Don’t you know this guy is sitting in the hospital room reading the news and thinking, “I’ve finally made it.”

Timothy Tatters, 29, was delivering a pizza when his station wagon hit a pole and caught on fire.

Combined with the man’s mentioned age of 29 and the fact that he was driving a station wagon they might as well have started the article with:

“Loser almost dies. Saved by two people who are not pizza delivery men.”

Just when I’m having one of those “I hate my job moments, I see this, and all is well in the world again.
