I have always enjoyed (well, maybe "enjoyed" is not the right word) the postcard produced to commemorate Jennings' car accident. A car accident in which the driver was severely injured just seems like such a weird thing to commemorate on a postcard.

Now we know why he is pictured so often in that pose...that dance is quite fanciful.

There's snow on the ground, so it must have been slippery and his traction control didn't kick in soon enough.
