Nothing like someone feeling the need to inject their “principles” whenever the opportunity arises.
-Joe, drinks, still has his head and all 4 limbs
So puking inside the truck is verboten, but bleeding all over it is okay?
And what’s with everyone losing their head over a few jokes?
Ya. One would guess that. It is quite obvious…and funny.
But one also has to consider that any multicellular investigator would logically guess the same. Maybe they “did not know why” because there was a lack of empirical evidence, i.e. actual vomit. But then they should logically hypothesize that the act was imminent but never occured (for obvious reasons). I find it difficult to believe any capable investigator can determine the victim had his head outside of the vehicle but not the reason. I think the “did not know why” in the story just represents a degree of uncertainty and not a total dumbfoundedness of slack-jaw investigators.
Isn’t $10,000 10% of $100,000?
I didn’t know about the monthly service charge. I guess my trial was quick enough to avoid that.
“Dude, you seem to be very quiet tonight…”
I looked at a local newspaper’s site, and the uncertainty is due to the fact that police aren’t sure if the guy was upchucking or whether the erratic driving sort of threw him into that position.
E.g./ If the truck hit the curb and the guy bounced out of his seat and lurched to the side. (If the guy wasn’t wearing a seatbelt it would be even more of a possibility.)
I once asked a cop what was the worst thing he’d ever seen. He had answered a call one dark night about a car losing control and hitting a tree branch. When he got there, the driver was slumped over the steering wheel. He asked the guy if he was okay and, getting no response, took off his glove and felt guy’s neck for a pulse…and had his hand go up into the guy’s neck… :eek:
The driver’s head was under the back seat.
Lawdy, that would be something!
There’s his headless corpse, all nice and safely buckled in the front seat!
I was trying to find an article about something similar that I think occurred in Panama City several years back.
As I remember the tale, an exotic dancer was coming home from the job, toasted out of her head and driving herself in her convertible.
She clipped a bicyclist and wound up with his leg in the front seat of her car.
I think she pulled into some sort of restaurant (like a Denny’s or Wafflehouse) where someone called the police.
Not having much luck with the search phrase “Drunk Panama City Strippers” though. 
Picture the head, brain still alive for scant seconds after the decapitation, on the side of the road facing the vehicle as it races away: “Hey man!” “Stop!” “Stop!”
Thanks. I didn’t consider the “thrown from seat” angle. I only considered: vomiting/getting ready to vomit; and leaning out the window to drunkenly howl at passers by (possibly hot chicks).
If the guy was puking when he has his head cut off, can the body still be puking afterward? And how far out of the neck stump does it shoot?
“No no, I said I want it to be decaffeinated!”
He was a daredevil, just like his old man. “Hey everybody! Look at me! Look at me!”
Serious answer: Probably not, as the processes that regulate vomiting would be deactivated.
(not) serious answer: That is freakin’ funny as shzit!
I saw this article this morning and thought of two things immediately:
- That’s one way to prevent your friends from puking in your car, and
- There’s going to be a really great thread about this on the Boards when I get home.
Dogzilla = 2 for 2
“No no, I said I wished my beer hadn’t had so much head!”
Was his name Roland and was he a fan of antique firearms?
"Dude, when I said we should head out, I meant we should leave.
A surefire Darwin Awards winner.
This is SO a Simpsons episode, with Homer driving, and maybe a state nuclear safety inspector as the passenger.
I can just see Chief Wiggum scratching his head along the roadside. “Lou, get that head out of the way and start looking for clues!”
