Though, sadly, it’s the rescuers, not the rescuee, who need a Darwin:
(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) A construction worker was decapitated when co-workers tried to dig him out of a collapsed ditch with an excavating machine, officials said. The 39-year-old man, whose name was not released, became trapped in the ditch Monday afternoon at the intersection of Taylor Street and DeGroot Place on Staten Island. Colleagues tried to free him with a backhoe, accidentally severing the man’s head.
link? Please
I- ain’t got no body.
I don’t know how long this link will be valid, as it’s a news site.
Jayzuz! That’s just horrible! I don’t WANT to think of really bad jokes at a time like this, but they just keep popping into my – er – head.
Well, maybe it was time for him to head out.
( I am so sorry )
TOO…MANY…PUNS…
In an emergency, you want take-charge individuals. The last thing you need is someone who’s just gonna stick his head in the sand.
Oh, Og. I feel guilty about that. Poor guy was at the mercy of a bunch of idiots who failed him miserably.
Tractor #1 to Tractor #2: “What’s worse than digging into a trench and finding a man?”
Using an excavator to dig the guy out? Thats using your head.
A friend of mine just e’d me, “The worst part is, he was only buried up to his ankles.”
Tractor #2: “Giving him head?”
Yeah, I’ve already got my ticket to hell. I’ve even got a suite booked from here to eternity.
Said his coworkers: “It took three swipes but we finally got the dern thing off.”
From World Eater’s link:
So they were running around like chickens with thier heads cut off?
Etherman, Horseflesh’s new neighbor in the great beyond.
I wonder if the proper operator was working the backhoe.
I hope they had the head guy.
C’mon man… get your head out of the gutter.
I thought in NYC, the hoes were supposed to * give * head.
Yeah, but I hear it costs an arm and a leg. This guy “got off” lucky.
It’s not his fault that he crossed the Queen of Hearts and her witless henchcards. But look at the bright side – at least she didn’t say “give him a good ass-chewin’.”
Yeah, I’d say they’ve definitely got a head start on this year’s Darwin Awards.
(I’m so ashamed…)
