... as does explaining the subsequent crash to the cops.

True story.  Back in the eighties (remember them?) when regular folks were
first getting "car phones," a friend of mine called me from his.  He was
explaining his objections to a prospective business deal ...

"... and I don't think we'll make any money after we pay all the SHIT <WHAM>
..."

... followed by additional bad language and "I'll call you later."

He'd rear-ended a line of cars stopped at a red light.
