Twice a charm

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

When I worked years ago as a vol. fire dept EMT I responded to a scene in my town where an adolescent was struck in the neck by the bottom of a glass bottle he was attempting to throw as a peroxide grenade when it exploded. pressure on the wound and transport with the object in place saved his life. The glass was removed by an ER Doc who stiched his carotid artery carefully closed. That was unfortunately only his first step toward Darwin achievement. Last year he was stopped by the police. he attempted to conceal the cocaine he was distributing by swallowing the condom? balloon? He met an untimely demise. He had not married nor am I aware of any offspring. His death was reported I believe in the Portsmouth NH Herald and or the Exeter NH News Letter.

Thanks, Peter! Obviously this fellow was on the fast track to a bitter end, and even though the stupidity here is not the most spectacular I've seen, it's still plenty good enough for a PA. What did it for me is the fact that he didn't learn the first time!

I'll accept this one as a PA. It makes one wonder how he would have done himself in had he survived that second act of top-notch stupidity. Thanks, Peter!
