You guys from Arkansas must be proud. Another Darwin Award Alumni!
[Arkansas Democrat Gazette]: Two local men were injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday Woodruff County deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock, were returning to Des Arc after a frog gigging trip on an overcast Sunday night when Poole's pickup truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the .22 caliber bullet from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering-wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet the headlights again began to operate properly, and the two men proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge. After traveling approximately 20 miles, and just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged, and struck Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved sharply right, exiting the pavement, and striking a tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident, but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his testicles, which will never operate as intended. Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released. "Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his balls off, or we might both be dead", stated Wallis. "I've been a trooper for 10 years in this part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe that those two would admit how this accident happened," said Snyder. Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia (Poole's wife) asked how many frogs the boys had caught and did anyone get them from the truck? Since the "testicles will never operate again as intended"........at least we know the this lucky eunuch has effectively removed himself forever from the gene pool.

Re: Arkansas Genius
Maybe, but Mythbusters proved that a .22 shell does fit perfectly in the old style fuse switch found in many pickups. Futher, that once inserted, the lights will operate again normally and after awhile, the bullet will in fact, cook to the point of firing. Finally, the path of the flying bullet could include a trajectory aimed at the driver's groin. So, while the story above may be flase, it was proved on Discovery to be possible! :evilb: :D

Re: Arkansas Genius
Doesn't anyone watch Mythbusters? This one was on the show.
Edit - Miller posted the above as I was typing this. I thought that when they did this on the show, they had put some insane amount of current through the circuit to get it to fire? |
Re: Arkansas Genius
Wow, that's a blast from the past.
And Mythbusters DID even get a truck that was similar to the truck that it supposedly happened in. :rolleyes: |

Re: Arkansas Genius

Re: Arkansas Genius
Yeah, Buck was driving... still has a slight limp... and his wife is a lot more happy now... no more chasing her around the trailer for some 30 second loving!!
Actually, mythbusters DID have to put an insane amount of current thru the fuse box to get it to fire off the shell. I think they may have even hooked it up to 110v... but don't remember the details. |
