Wendy/Darwin says, "Accepted into the Archive. (personal account)"

Hello,

I would like to submit a friend's accident to the of the Darwin Awards Supreme Court.

Of course, he doesn't deserve a first price because he didn't die, but hopefully he could reach at least a special mention.

This friend, let's call him David, just broke his arm because he fell on a dog, (which is already quite silly). He went to the hospital and got a resin gauze. On the same evening he went party with some friends. But, after a few hours and a lot of drinks, they found very funny to customize, David's gauze with imaginative pornographic drawings. By the morning, David felt very ashamed when his mother discovered the whole artistic work he had done on his wounded arm. So, after his father shouted at him , David, who is not exactly the « do it yourself type », tryed to erase it all with some « White spirit ». He didn't thought that this very corrosive product would spread across the gauze's resin and burn his skin deeply. After a few hours of abonibale pain, he decided to break the resin himself with a hammer. He did it well. He broke the gauze and even managed to break his arm again in another place !

Thankyou for reading and giving this submission all the attention it deserves.

Your friend should have tried just painting/drawing over the offensive artwork. I could understand not realizing what mixing spirits with the resin coated cast would do, but then taking a hammer AND breaking his arm a second time is priceless. Thanks for sharing this with us!
