What a pain in the neck

Someone, (Nick Adams?) mentioned this story earlier in the week. “Skewered” is a good word.

“A northern Idaho woman who was skewered in the neck by a tree limb while driving along the Lochsa River earlier this month says she is recovering at home.” http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/sep/17/n-idaho-woman-impaled-tree-limb-recovering/
