1/29/2003: Accident victim winds up on wire

Two weeks on the heels of the dead deer on the top of an electrical pole image, comes this one of a human being. This one's no mystery though; the 18-year-old driver was thrown in the auto accident, grabbed the wires instinctively, and hung up there for 20 minutes until help arrived. And after all of that, he was not at all hurt.

I urge him to play the lottery immediately.

Or join the circus. He's obviously a natural talent for the high wire/trapeze act.

It's current news, though not very shocking. I bet he was amped by the time they got him down, assuming he didn't resist much. I guess he was transformed into a new man.
Do you feel that a lot of buzz is being generated by this story?

Yes - all the outlets are carrying it.

I'm not sure why they didn't put him in a cell.

I understand that he's normally a well grounded individual so they wouldn't risk him blowing a fuse by isolating him.

Well they could have charged him with battery while looking for other contacts. I bet this guy is connected; he must have been wired on something.

Ohm my God! This discussion has become positively revolting.

I'm shocked at all of you!

This has the capacity to go down in the media history volts when they realise exactly watt he as achieved.

I absolutely refuse to join in and be a party to the perversion of the electrical lexicon.

You know, I thought about posting this as it happened in a suburb of KC, but (and I'm not kidding), since he ended up on the wire, I thought that might refute my postulation about the deer ending up on the pole, so I didn't post it.

This will teach me to withhold information trying to protect my own bullshit theories. ;-)

BTW, the kid gave God(tm) all the credit for his adventure. That sort of thing always makes me suspicious of God, because after all, He must have made that other vehicle swerve into the kid's Jeep.

I just want to know what this "it" is that God still apparently has.

(An angel walks into God's office) The mortals are heckling you on the Cellar again sir.

(God is working intensely at his computer) Ok, just take their names, I'm really busy working a miracle for Colin Powell right now.

God, could you explain why Colin is holding a small vial of cocaine?

pun quotient == .85

Very high!

This thread bumped in the interest of hilighting bizarre cellar humor.

Thanks for the bump! (I know, that's what she said!)


The platypus was a prank. I think He had been drinking.

I think you guys have blown all my pun fuses. And I have a high tolerance for puns.
