A man texts his wife.
“Honey, I got hit by a car outside of the office. Tina brought me to the hospital.
They have been taking tests and doing x-rays. The blow to my head is very strong, may be serious.
Also, I have 3 broken ribs, a broken arm, a compound fracture on my left leg and they may have to amputate the right foot.”
Wife’s response: “Who is Tina?”
