Look Both Ways B4 Crossing!

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two teenagers were harassing motorists on Clairemont Mesa Blvd, in a San Diego suburb. The teens, standing at the side of the road, were throwing balogna and other lunch meat at cars speeding down the highway. Apparantly this activity was so much fun, that when the teens ran out of lunch meat, they walked into the road to pick up balogna that did not stick to any of the speeding cars. Unfortunately for the teens, the road was poorly lit, and the next potential victim, the driver of a late model sedan, did not see the teens kneeling in the road, retrieving lunch meat. One teen was killed instantly, and his friend was severely injured. The driver was unharmed, and not cited for anything.

i agree with charles, a re-write, some verification would greatly improve it.

Bert said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
Agree, needs verification & age of kids would matter.

Gregory said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
With verification, could be a contender if they were old enough. At least it was original.

Maybe Toss: For Darwin's Eyes
Depending on the age of the kids, I agree with Charles. With more information, a verificable URL and a slightly better rewrite, you could have a DA here.

I would like to see some verification of this... and a rewrite to make this a little funnier could bring it into the Darwin category.

Buy a Book!
The third Darwin Awards book is packed with over 100 all-new tales of the triumph of nature over mankind. If you're considering sawing through the tree branch directly overhead... stringing a "shell" necklace of live ammunition... installing deadly boobytraps in your own home... you jut might be a Darwin winner! Illustrations by Zeebarf and McGookin.

"The Darwin Awards... constitute a delicious
sermon in support of common sense."
-The Baltimore Sun
