    Only “injured”! Whoa! This was definitely a “Good Friday” for her… Get WELL!(?)

      Apparently you have no clue as to what “Good” means in “Good Friday”. How can you compare this woman’s fortune not to have had much more serious injuries to the day that Jesus was nailed to a cross, hung up to die, pierced with a sword, scorned, spat upon and left to die? The “Good” in Good Friday is not the happy, positive, upbeat, smiley term that you think it means.

    lucky she was in a landrover.
