You've been subpoena'd!
Sadly, the story isn't nearly as juicy as it could be. Back in October, I witnessed a minor fender-bender while on Dal campus, between a taxi and a van. The van failed to yield to the taxi, so they collided in the middle of the intersection. Shitty thing is that two friends and I were right in the path of the carnage (aka rolling cars), and I had to yell at them to get out of the way because they weren't paying attention. One guy almost got run over by the van. That's Grad Students for you, probably dreaming about bond angles and rotational constants. Luckily, no run over pedestrians, no broken bones, no whiplash.
So, why the subpoenae? One of the drivers didn't have insurance. Oops. Should be an easy charge to make stick, but apparently they're fighting it, and so I have to go to court as a witness for the Crown. Funny thing is, I can't tell from the name if it's the taxi driver (a man) or the young woman driving the van. I guess I'll find out when I show up.

I'd add a real comment to this but I already did on your facebook page. Oh well, good luck in court anyway, don't let the lawyers make too big an ass out of you ;)
