OT - Funny From Another Newsgroup

#1

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
"covertly" funded a project with U.S. automakers for the past 5 years,
whereby the automakers were installing black-box voice recorders in
4-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to determine in fatal
accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find in 48 of the 50 states the recorded last
words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh Shit!" Only
Kentucky was different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were:
"Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin'"

Uh, sorry, old joke - it was Texas, and it was, "Hey, watch this!"
LOL.

You're missing a state in there somewhere (and whichever one it
is is probably pissed).

It's "hey y'all, watch this". You gotta get the words right or
else it looses it's effect. Without the "y'all", it could be
someone from Wyoming or Idaho or California or somesuch god-forsaken
place doing the talking :-)

Yeah, I saw this the other day, and it had every state listed from
Virginia-Kentucky South and East of the Mississippi listed. Basically a joke
born of envy by someone not fortunate enough to live in the Southeast. ;-p
