The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the U.S. automakers (GM and Ford) for the past 5 years, whereby the automakers were installing black-box voice recorders in 4-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to determine in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find in 48 of the 50 states the recorded last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh Shit!" Only Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin." | ||

Nice. Famous Last Words... Gee, that's a cute tattoo. Let's ask that group of basketball players for directions. It's fireproof. What does this button do? I'm making a citizen's arrest. It's probably just a rash. Are you sure the power is off? The odds of that happening have to be a million to one! What duck? What do you mean, "I'll be back"? Why is the rest of the Star Trek landing party wearing a different color? Pull the pin and count to what? Which wire was I supposed to cut? I've seen this done on TV. These are the good kind of mushrooms. I'll hold it and you light the fuse. What's that priest doing here? I hope they speak English. OK, I'll go ahead and make your day. I'll get your toast out. Give me liberty or give me death. It's strong enough for both of us. That birthmark on your head looks like 999. This doesn't taste right. Nice doggie. I can do that with my eyes closed. I've done this before. Well we've made it this far. That's odd. Hey that's not a violin. | ||

Riding with a friend in his 66 Mustang. Him: "What's that noise." (I listen but don't hear anything except typical squeaky suspension) Me: "Just old car noises." 5 minutes later his front wheel fell off. Spindle sheared in two! | ||

I know two brothers from the UP. They are both missing the same front tooth. I was always afraid to ask what the deal was, because I figured they'd tell you, but then knock yours out too. | ||

I just got home from the UP....fricken snow! While I was up there I met a couple from Barstow, California, they were in Escanaba scouting property to open a bar and a bakery and a homestead. When I told them you really ought to rethink this and asked why Escanaba they told me they were tired of earth quakes and traffic and the high cost of living out there. I guess it sucks all over. I will let them find out for themselves about the blackflies, noseeums, wood ticks, summer trolls, and the snow from September till May. | ||
