Used to own a big square ramshackle camper van, built from an old tipper truck. Great fun.
Outside my brother's house one day, his neighbour backed a van into my camper and bent the metal strut off one corner of it.

'Oh no!' I cried, 'He stuffed my funky strut!'

The opposite of a put-down really as everyone laughed and the situation was defused, but my brother was gutted. I'd said it and he could only wish he'd thought of it. Heh.

that you didn't reverse-engineer this frankly unlikely-sounding anecdote, merely so you could use that line (that you just made up)?
