I didn't see what you did there. What does Tequila have to do with a mockingbird? Please explain.

Explaining the joke would ruin it. But since it's one of Nagy's ...
In English*, "Tequila" is pronounced "təˈkiː.lə", which sounds a bit like "to kill a".
* That's proper English as spoken in England (south of the Watford Gap), not the manglified-bastard-version spoken by 'merkins, nor the bizarre foreign-sounding gibberish spoken by our northern countrymen.

Apparently he fainted and got a concussion form the crash. The passenger got some minor bruises. The "funny" thing is that the driver suffers from heart problems, but if you don't get a heart attack from that Id say your heart is fine.

Good point. It sure does make a good stress test. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I'll think I will skip that heart test if they ask me to take it

Not just my heart that would get stress tested. I suspect my underwear would be spot checked as well...
