ANOTHER DARWIN AWARD - THIS TIME IN MAINE






Over the Fourth of July holiday someone who outpaced his cognitive ability removed himself from the gene pool.  

In a moment of absolute showmanship the young man strapped a fireworks mortar tube to his head and lit it off – he died instantly. 

It probably is not appropriate to sight that he went out in a bang.   

My gut reaction is- that there but for the grace of dumb luck – at some point I didn’t make the cut.

  2. What are the odds that his final words were "Hey, hold my beer"?

  3. Ol' Buzzard, You are right. Most of us at one point or another in our lives would have qualified for a Darwin Award if it were not for angels or dumb luck; take your pick.

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
