2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

For your reading pleasure I submit this story …

Mr. Wilfred Elise, age 31 formerly of Eastchester, NY had an excellent idea for getting out of paying his lease for his black Nissan Altima.

While most New Yorkers with an inkling for fraud would park their car in a “bad neighborhood” then proceed leave said vehicle unattended (with keys inside), whilst getting a few beers etc…and then call the authorities when aforementioned vehicle is stolen or burglarized.

This D.A. winner to avoid his lease payment, decides to do it himself. Mr. & Mrs. Elise arrive home around 3AM. While parked and with wife still in the car Wilfred applies a “flammable liquid” to the interior of the car. Wilfred then applies fire to the accelerant, as wife manages to escape. Both Wilfred Elise & car go “UP IN SMOKE”.

And the real kicker is.. HE would have saved a ton of money if switched to Geico.

PS. Just thought of a new slogan for you’se guys.. Darwin Awards skimming scum from the gene pool since 1994.

we have this one, but I like this write-up better. Perhaps you are a fellow New Yorker, Carmen? :-) I'd like to pass this on to Darwin. PS I do like the slogan!

I'll side with James, though only for the motto... as the other moderators have commented, there doesn't seem to be anything new here.
