The Mythical Bus Accident

What if I got hit by a bus? I'm sure many of you have heard some variation of this, or used it, or maybe your boss told you to be ready in case you (or someone more important) gets hit by that vehicle.

Not literally someone getting hit by a bus, but perhaps a sudden accident that takes someone away from work (hopefully not fatal). Perhaps it's someone leaving for a new job. Maybe it's retirement, which is something my boss and I at Redgate chat about periodically. Don't worry, I'm not planning on retiring anytime soon.
