The Kylie CD was still playing...
About 5 years ago living in Sydney at the time I was at a friends birthday party and introduced to a couple of her friends.

I got chatting with the 2 guys and as I worked for a car rental company they were telling me about a holiday they'd had a while back where they rented a 4x4 jeep. When offered fully comp insurance they questioned it and were essentially told that without it if you have an accident that's your fault you've just bought a crashed jeep.

So they took the advice and opted for the extra insurance, turns out it was a wise move as about 3 hours later they find themselves upside down in a ditch in the middle of nowhere, the new 4x4 totally trashed by the large rocks and where it's rolled in the ditch. Reflecting back they say "the most surreal thing was the whole time the CD player was still playing Kylie, even when the emergency services showed up".

Always one to try and find a silver lining to every cloud I say "Well it could have been worse...".
Intrigued they both gave their full attention as I continued "...I mean it could have been a really dodgy CD like the Village People or something!"

They looked at me a bit puzzled.

"I mean, 2 blokes alone in a jeep in the middle of nowhere might look a bit dodgy eh!?" I went on.

For some reason the conversation seemed to lose some of it's enthusiasm at that point. One of the guys went to talk to someone else and the conversation became laboured until they left about 20 mins later.

My friend came over and said "They're a great couple arn't they!?".

Oops.
