Ball & Chain

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Whilst the result of quaffing copious amounts of alcohol and subsequent impairment of driving ability are well documented, the upcoming Darwin Award Nominee had one further impediment to overcome....

David Wayne Godin, 22, drowned near Dartmouth Nova Scotia, last September as he was returning from his bachelor stag party, when his vehicle plunged into a lake. Attached to Godin's leg, courtesy of his friends at the party, was an authentic ball and chain. Hartford (CT) Advocate -3 December 1992

It is ironic, Jorge, but is it really monumentally stupid enough to be a DArwin Award? People drive drunk all the time -- this one just has an amusing twist. Not like anyone could see the drowning coming when he let them tie the ball on his foot!

Ironic isnt it?


Becky said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
Heh. Wonder why he didn't remove it, though. More info!


Bill said:
Maybe Toss: No Self-Selection
Presumably it wasn't his decision to put on the ball & chain.

Definitely Keep: For Darwin's Eyes
Only needs confirmation to be a classic. Now I know why I refused to let my "friends" put one of these on me on my stag night.
