person A:  I almost got hit by a semi truck today on the highway. It scared me half to death.
person B: Woah! I'm soooo glad you're okay!  Those big rigs are so dangerous and make me so nervous.  I stay as far away from them as I can.
person A: I know_comma_ I always try to_comma_ but my wife was in labor so she was making me pass everyone on the road.
person B: Well_comma_ that's understandable.  I've had two kids of my own and labor would not be fun in the car.  Was she in shock when you guys were almost hit?
