Darwin Award Nominee - Street Sign of Death :)

[Secret Squirrel]

A man in Orange County, Fla., died over the weekend after he tried to rip out a street sign, according to a Local 6 News report.

Sheriff's deputies said the man somehow cut himself while yanking out the sign near his home at the University House apartments.

"It appears he underestimated the severity of the wound," Local 6's Todd Jurkowski said. "He went home and was found dead in his apartment Sunday."


The man's identity was not released.

I'd be interested in knowing what the wound exactly was. That's odd...

An arterial bleed probably would have been too serious to ignore... maybe sliced a major vein in the arm or leg?


*sigh* Florida....again:|
Picking on Florida is too easy...

Picking on Soviet Californistan is also ultra-easy, but for some reason, people like to pick on Floriduh. Maybe it is the political make-up of Florida, and the post-Gore/Hurricane Election 2000 aftermath...

It's not like California makes that much sense most of the time.

Hahahaha... I live in Orange County. That could easily have been me! All our street signs have razor sharp edges. i nearly lost a foot last week when I gave a roundhouse kick to a "Standing Water On The Road" sign that I was offended by.

Why am I not surprise that you are a Darwin award aspiree?

Keep tryin brother. I have faith in you. Have you tried playing in traffic?

or running with scissors?

Why must you torment me?

You need to go take a nap in the arms room. Maybe the smell of chordite and CLP will make you have dreams of being a real soldier again.

I threw scissors at a kid one time when I was nine. Teacher not happy.

This is before the meds, right?

It is quite common to find road signs missing in rural parts of the UK where they have been stolen for scrap metal content.

Obviously we need to sharpen the edges to prevent the thefts.

I keep a bottle of CLP on my desk for that very reason. (also in case I feel the need to sit in the dark with just my boots on and lite coat of CLP reciting the Ranger creed.) what?

Do you use it to lubricate your johnson while you beat off, thinking about the times you were surrounded by infantrymen?

I had no idea my urine could be used to clean firearms.

No, that would be silly. I just like the lite coat of CLP all over... wait.. is this a mind trick?

Some guy in Florida of course, died from either a cut to the toe or cutting off his toe while breaking into a bathroom window not too long ago.....idoit

Last weekend at the range, some guy lost the timing of "Ceasefire" and "Range is Hot" calls - deep in thought, he headed down range as people began shooting to either side of him (that didn't last very long). Took some yelling to get him back - he was out to lunch all right, down to the deep in thought hand on the chin and looking at his feet... Young guy too - certainly had a kneejerk "better him than me" thought...

I was suspended in kindergarten for hitting my friend with my magic carpet/ plastic sheet sled, turns out the edges were so sharp it cut his eyelid open
