Rubber-necking

My friends and I caused a car accident today. We went to the movies tonight, a favorite passtime of ours, and on the way we caused quite the ruckus. There were six of us, and (cheap teachers that we are) we decided to save on cab fare by squeazing into one cab. We climbed in, one in the front with the driver and the other five piled in the back. It must have been quite the sight, five farong shoved into the backseat of a Bangkok taxi. Apparently it caught somebody's attention, because somewhere along the elevated highway we heard a loud crunch. "Oh my goodness!" shreiked my friend. "That guy was so busy staring at us that he just ran into the back of that taxi cab!" Sure enough we looked back to see traffic piling up behind the fender-bender that we unwittingly contributed to.
