Junior wakes with fro from sleeping with cat, was hit by a car, thinks women are worse runners than men

Wildcat: So my name's Nathan and you're on the spot. Nice running into you again.

Regan: Yes, but not physically.

Wildcat: Yes. The girl who slammed into my car while I was driving and we almost had a catastrophe. I'm glad I got back in touch with you.

Regan: I know.

Wildcat: When I saw you again to reunite, I noticed that your hair was really thick.

Regan: It's a pain in the ass.

Wildcat: Does it get mottled up when you're asleep?

Regan: Well, my cat, whenever I sleep, he massages my head ... so I wake up with a really big fro and if I don't do my hair before I go to bed, it's like a big poofball.

Wildcat: So you were telling me earlier you don't jog as much. Is it because of the catastrophe?

Regan: No, I still ran a lot that year when I almost got hit by a car. And I got hit by another car after you. I didn't tell you about that one?

Wildcat: No.

Regan: Oh yeah. It wasn't major. The lady didn't see me and she hit my shins and I went on top of her car.

Wildcat: I think you should find a nice track somewhere.

Regan: I don't like to run on tracks because I like to view the scenery.

Wildcat: How can you get hit by a car twice?

Regan: In the same year! But never since.

Wildcat: Really? That's ridiculous though. That's still a bad, what is it ÷stat, ratio?

Regan: And I haven't been hit by a car in Tucson yet, which is really weird because Tucson really sucks.

Wildcat: Do you think women drivers are worse than men drivers?

Regan: Yes.

Wildcat: I think women runners are more dangerous than men runners.

Regan: Why do you think that?

Wildcat: Because of you.
