Never a Car Hit

The joke plays on the expectation that being hit by "things" is bad, but the speaker is actually wishing for something worse, being hit by a car, which is a darkly humorous way of expressing suicidal ideation.

• Car
• Life
• Suicide
• Accident
• Things
• Road

• I was sitting in traffic the other day. Probably why I got run over.
• I got hit by a bus. But the bus was my ex.
• My friend died by a truck, why can't I get run over?
• They say that bad things happen to good people. So if you get run over by a car just know you're a good person.
