Just thought everyone might like to read this-

 

Finally, Nominee No. 9, The Winner!!!:

>[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, 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 twenty miles and just

>before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged and

>struck Poole in the right testicle. 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 surgery to repair the

>testicle. Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released.

>"Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his b**** off or we

>might both be dead" stated Wallis. "I've been a trooper for ten 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.

 

Thank God-at least they can still have the frogs for dinner.
