Jerry Seinfeld was involved in a one person car wreck yesterday (he's ok) near his house in the East Hampton. It was a one car accident and it appears that it was the result of faulty breaks on his 1967 Fiat BMT. Seinfeld is a big car aficionado and actually owns an entire garage that is abut two blocks away from my apartment here in NYC. I've met Jerry a couple times and I'm glad that he got out unscathed, but this did make me think about something.

This crash took place ten years after his show went off the air. The show aired for nine years so this is about 19 years since his real success began. So, let's just say for a second that I'm on the same career trajectory. That means that I'll have an accident with my rick-persons toy sometime in 2027. I imagine the AP story will go something like this...

East Hampton, The Moon -- Comedy legend Dave Rubin escaped with only minor bruises as the anti-gravity booster on his 1998 Nissan Maxima failed during a leisurely ride through some local craters.

Rubin, who starred in his groundbreaking sitcom "Rubin" from 2010-2019 is also known for his Oscar Award winning portrayal of Dr. Peter Venkman performance in the 2022 remake of "Ghostbusters." The role was originally played by Bill Murray, who personally selected Rubin for the role after the two played golf together on Murray's golf course on Mars.

Rubin took the accident in stride and commented that, "Once I get the flux capacitor fixed in my DeLorean I intend to go back in time and make sure this accident never occurs in the first place."

Yup, that's how it'll all go down...
