Too late to do it right

2003 Reader Submission

Although Shawn Garrison(26)has successfully removed himself from the gene pool, it comes a little too late. In a freak accident, Shawn stuck his head out the passenger window of his friends pickup truck just in time to connect with a speed limit sign on the side of the road. Apparently this was a habit or perhaps he was not entirely sober. Then again it could have been a case of road rage gone wrong. He had his head out of the window when another car cut in front of the truck Shawn was a passenger in. The driver of the truck swerved with result aforementioned. According to the driver of the pickup truck Shawn already had his head outside the window when the other car cut across his path.

Why does this come too late? Shawn has already made major contributions to societal woes in that he leaves behind 6 children. Since each one has half of Shawn's genes, each has a one in four chance of inheriting the gene causing one to stick your head out of a moving vehicle.

The moral of the story? There is none, but if your going to ride keep your arms and head inside the vehicle at all times, just like it says in the owner's manual.

Neutral: Too Common
Since he's already procreated, this is a moot point.

it is a bit of the unusual, im leaving it at neutral. we could use some verification on this story.

Loren said:
Maybe Toss: Too Common
He's left too many of his kind in the gene pool.

I disagree about the "good writeup," but this is sufficiently different from the usual that I'll give it a pass.

Good writeup, perhaps the problem is with the gene that causes one to ride in pickups. We get a lot of head out the window submissions.
