Darth Avlectus Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 If you have not first read Yar-El's post on 'dog shoots man', I suggest read that first then come back here. This thread was inspired by that one. What do you make of THIS story? Courtesy and credit: Sam Goldwasser story submission Credit: Keith Morgan and all parties/sources mentioned therein Originally taken from the humor section of http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu ----- You have repeatedly been warned: "Do not replace a fuse unless you have thoroughly checked all other components.... The new fuse may just blow the second time around." Not necessarily. I have seen cases where the second time around, some other component pops off and the fuse survives! (Sam) (From: Keith Morgan (morgankk@boat.bt.com).) Was a .22 caliber bullet the other component Sam mentioned: (this is an article spotted by Gary Davis in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette 25 July 1996, and reported in the UK Private Eye magazine) "I thank God every hour that we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his nuts off, cos we'd both be pushing up the daisies by now," Billy Ray Wallis told reporters from his hospital bed in the Baptist Medical Center, Woodruff County. "When you leave, can you check if anyone got the frogs from the truck? I'd hate anything to happen to them." Wodruff County deputy Dovey Snyder later gave a more coherent account of that evening's events. "It seems that Thurston Poole, 33, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, were returning to Des Arc after a frog-gigging trip, when the fuse for the headlights on Poole's pick-up truck burned out. They didn't have a spare, so Wallis took a .22 caliber bullet from his pistol and found that it fitted perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering wheel column. The headlights started working again, and they resumed their journey, with Poole at the wheel. "Apparently, it never occurred to them that, if the headlight wiring was faulty, then the bullet would soon overheat. They'd gone about twenty miles and were about to cross White River bridge when it got hot enough to discharge itself, striking Poole in the right testicle and partially severing his scrotum. As a result, the vehicle swerved off the road and drove through the front window of a hamburger bar. Poole (who sustained further abrasions from broken glass, and burns from fried onions) kept shouting at diners 'mind my frogs', while Wallis (who sustained a broken clavicle) attempted to steal a chip-fryer in the confusion. I tell you, I've been a state trooper for ten years, but this is the dumbest thing I've ever come across. I can't believe that those two would admit how the accident happened. And all they keep asking about are their damn frogs." ----- WTF??? It's like something out of a really bad movie or a comedy movie... I could picture something like that being in dumb and dumber, jay and silent bob--even jackass...maybe beavis and butthead... But still, COME ON. How could you be so STUPID? And have the audacity to ask about the frogs... (shaking head laughing) I'm not one to laugh at another's misfortune, however it's SO bad I just couldn't help but laugh. Yar-El's little thread reminded me of this. Go ahead and check out more of the page if you want some other jokes. Too bad darth333 isn't here, she'd like the "new and improved hell" joke. EDIT: JUST MAKE SURE you CREDIT Sam for his materials--he's friendly but he can get VERY cranky if he finds you using his materials without crediting him and anyone else associated!!!!!!

Aash Li Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 What was on Mythbusters, the shooting your nuts off while driving, or the bullet discharging? ;;>.> <.<;; *hides* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well, they must've done something similar at least ONCE if they did all the things you said...oy, that'd be painful..... *hides as well* The idea of bullet powering battery fuse thingy is rather interesting....

Rogue15 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 yeah that would hurt. would be funnier if he was getting some when the bullet went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yeah, that would really really hurt....ooohh.... I still can't get my head around the whole bullet fuse idea, it just doesn't make the most sense...though I don't doubt it would work if tested.

Darth Avlectus Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Oy, this thread's subject is so bad, it's funny, bullets as a fuse sounds ridiculous! Excellent thread, though, it has supplied me with much laughs. lol That's what it's here for. Glad you enjoyed it! You're telling me this actually happened?! Roflmao. [/Quote] Yeah, I guess so. At least on the FAQs I read it and its source is sited. I'm sure it's out there if you want to research it. I think I did. (shrugs) This wouldnt be used in a war. most people wouldn't be stupid enough to do it. I on the other hand would gladly do it Gladly??? O_o WHY? Do you hate that part of your anatomy or something??? --JK Just plain absent mindedness. I know plenty about that. While I don't use my fusebox to shoot off bullets, I have done some mischevious things with electronics and other crap. Some of which backfired and could have been SO much worse than it was. Still, nothing I ever did that was stupid *quite* held a candle to this. At least not in terms of creativity. Who gives it a darwin award? I yeah that would hurt. would be funnier if he was getting some when the bullet went off. [/Quote] LMAO ROFL (Trying to hold back snikcering) Getting some, huh? Dare I ask from whom?
