Drunk and Dead

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

On New Years eve/day, two brilliant individuals entered a manufacturing facility. Correction, they BROKE in. They did this in order to "ride" an industrial crane in a working factory. The Factory was on shutdown for the holiday, so why not right? But first I think we should ingest copious ammounts of alcohol...so much in fact that one individual was still a .08 at 1242 the following afternoon. (This will be explained)

Well, somehow the make it into the building. They proceed to climb a crne that is approx. 50 feet in the air. While up here, the have the imigination to play spider-man. This must have been the alcohol talking. One man, as he scaled out along the exposed beam, grabbed ahold of some live wires. This sent him in a deadly free fall, only to end up creased in half along a concrete loading dock.

now we have eliminated one idiot from the gene pool...His compadre remained up on the crane for an additional 6 HOURS...only to come down at 1242 pm and flag down a city cop to inform the police what had happened. This man was the one who was still a .08, while his buddy that lay in a distinctly ackward pose, was still over .3 at autopsy.

.08 guy was charged with entering a business without permission, while the other has been removed from the gene pool.

Neutral: Darwin Award
A somewhat better write-up than the first submission, but I am leery about the electrical wires. I do hope that is true and not a fabricated embellishment! I will, however, give you the benefit of a doubt and let this squeak by as a DA. Thanks, Steve!
