Butcher knife or allen wrench...? Decisions, decisions...

NFMee · Mar 28, 2003

Wow, that's really sad. Show's how stupidity can sometimes lead to more than just a band-aid wound.

Good grief, what an accident. A tragedy that was really avoidable.

Natural selection works by having the unfit die before breeding. In this case it did not work.

Anyone want to drive through the tunnel this guy supervised the maintenance on?

BINGO....

That's the part that I found frightening. Anything under the "supervision" of that bozo for five years is suspect, IMO. Somebody should get heat for entrusting public safety to a fully-proven idjit.

When laziness and stupidity conquer congnizance, no good can result. Let's hope his children don't suffer that particular gene.

If you couldn't find an allen wrench and had to think of things you could use instead, how far down your list would a butcher knife be?

Don Rac · Mar 28, 2003

An allen wrench, and a butcher knife? I don't see how this guy could've even convinced himself that this would've worked...

Sucks for his wife and kid.

Exactly.

It would probably be below Twizzlers, a TV remote control, and a Slinky.

Prehaps he didn't realy "fall" on the knife. The clipping only states the wife's version of events. It says the polices are still looking into it. Hmmm

I'm with you, Patrick. I suppose anything's possible but, I'm wondering if anyone could be that stupid, clumsy and inept at the same time. Or if he's the world's unluckiest guy. Or if he and the ol' lady have been getting along in recent years. I think she may see some bright lights before it's over.

which ever way this one turns out.............. it will be close to the 'top of the list' .........

I agree this sounds a little fishy. It states in the article that the wife already put the crib together, she just wanted him to check it. She should of known where the wrench was?

His wife said she had assembled the crib a few days ago and had asked her husband to make sure the screws were properly tightened.

I put a crib together before. I ju8st don't see it. Reminds of when children get caught and make a quick excuse.....

KABOOM! Mom comes running, refridgerator is laying sideways on the foor.

Mom:What the hell happened?
Kids: We was watching cartoons and it just fell. We didn't do it!

Anyone has kids, you know what I mean. I am not buying the fall story at this time.
