Darwin Award Honorable Mention Nominee

[Scarlett67]

I am still laughing about this tidbit from the local rag.

A 42-year-old man is arguing with his ex-GF and threatens to set her car on fire. He leaves, returns with a can of gasoline, and proceeds to pour it on her car. Then he gets into a fistfight with a couple of witnesses, during which the CIGARETTE he had been smoking WHILE POURING THE GASOLINE ignites the gas THAT HE HAD SPILLED ON HIMSELF. The man and car are now both on fire. Somehow the fires are put out, and when the cops arrive the man is gone, but they find him hiding in his bedroom closet. Charges will be filed when he gets out of the hospital.

I bet the ex is laughing her ass off. What a rube.

A couple hobbled into a Washington State emergency room covered in bloody restaurant towels. The man had his hands around his waist and the woman had hers around her head. They eventually explained to doctors that they had gone out that evening for a romantic dinner. Overcome with passion, the woman crept under the table to administer oral sex to the man. While in the act, she had an epileptic fit, which caused her to clamp down on the man’s penis and wrench it from side to side. In agony and desperation, the man grabbed a fork and stabbed her in the head until she let go.

Gp

Scarlett, that’s hilarious! But I have to mention here (as a Darwin Award Book owner), that people are only eligible for a Darwin Award if they remove themselves from the gene pool via death or sterility.

Maybe he burned off his bits?

::Scarlett checks the Darwin site to make sure ::

the Honorable Mentions also include people who didn’t fully consummate the deed, as it were. From the “Honorable Mentions” page:

The stupidity displayed by the participants in the following tales stops short of the ultimate Darwin sacrifice, but we salute their spirit and innovation.

But I do like the idea of burning off his bits!
