Balls Away!

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Darwin says, "Thanks for the submission, Anonymous whistle-blower on your friends. This is amusing! But since the driver rolled up the window, I'd have to say that the party who was 'removed from the gene pool' was not entirely responsible for his blunder. One must give oneself a Darwin Award."
ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

A couple of friends of mine were driving around on the 4th of July back in high school, throwing M-80 s out the windows of my buddys Cadillac, when "Bobby", sitting in the right rear seat, with the bag of M-80 s between his legs ,attempted to toss another, not realizing that the driver had buzzed up the rear windows. The M-80 bounced off the window back into the bag of explosives.That car lit up for awhile, and "Bobby" was airlifted to a burn unit where he spent 2 months recovering.Two things were NOT recovered, which would qualify him for a Darwin

He must have been pretty out of it if he didn't realize the window had closed. The lack of wind blowing in would have been a dead giveaway. Thanks for the story.
