My spouse bought a few cases of sparkling water and stacked them in the back of our vehicle.
One of them had tumbled against the window on the drive home, when I opened the hatch, it came flying out, hit the ground on the corner of the box, and split openit missed my right foot by probably 1/4 of an inch.
I think I'll go do some good deeds. Wow. That would have done some damage.
