Thanks to "Dr. Dad" (aka my father) for relaying this to me...
As I have mentioned on my profile, I have created the "Stupies," awarded to purveyors of extreme stupidity. Dr. Dad has notified me that there IS actually an "official" award given for terminal lackus intellectualus-- the Darwins. These are awarded every year to the person(s) who died in the most stupid manner, "thereby removing themselves from the gene pool." I will type this verbatim, as provided by the aforementioned Dr. Dad.
Two (local) men were injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a tree. The sheriff's deputy who reported the accident said that Thurston Poole, 33, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, [Sounds like a pair of characters from Hee-Haw!] were returning home after a frog gigging trip [What the royal stink is THAT?]on an overcast night. Poole's pickup truck's lights malfunctioned. The 2 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. Upon inserting the bullet, the headlights again began to operate properly. After traveling approximately 20 miles, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged, and struck Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved, exited the pavement, and struck a tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and bruises, but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his testicles, which will never again operate as intended. [TMI!!!]
(Though Poole and Wallis did not die as a result of their misadventure-- as normally required by Darwin Award rules, it can be argued that Poole DID, in fact, effectively remove himself from the gene pool.)
Too stinkin' funny! Except maybe to "Mr." Poole, essentially now a neo-eunuch.
Thanks for the great laugh, Dr. Dad!

Sounds like the Darwin could earn a "Stupie" for this one. Aren't these awards for people who DIED? That alone is too funny!!
Hey, thanks for linking to me!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo!!!!!!!
Darwins are for people who have removed themselves from the gene pool. Self-castration counts, I think!
