Black Boxes in Automobiles

Jim80 · 11-19-08, 05:57 PM

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
"covertly" funded a project with the 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 38 of the 50 states the recorded last
words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh **** !"

Only the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia,Tennessee,
Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and
West Virginia were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words
were:

"Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin."

The most dangerous phrases known to man

A man in his teens-20's saying "based on my experience this should work"
A man in between 25 and about 35 saying "Watch this S*&t"
A man over 35 saying "let me show you how we used to do it"

mont_lunker_hunter · 11-20-08, 02:18 PM

Yeah, I read the same article Jim, except it was published in Redneck Weekly Tribune. It said that in Northern states the most common phrases heard right before an accident were "Hold on, I'm getting another call" and "Wow these new hybrid's really have some pep"

flfireman · 11-20-08, 05:43 PM

If you're gonna do it...GO BIG!!

Followed by "I have a friend in the south and he does it like this all the time".

Famous last words by a northerner to his brother: "Hey, watch what I can do. Hold my wine spritzer."
Famous last words from the brother 10 seconds later: "Hey, I can do that."

MississippiBoy · 11-22-08, 11:49 AM

28 here early...but it'll be 56 this afternoon and 6 tomorrow...gotta love Mississippi weather in the fall.

And if you don't, just wait a day or two...it'll change.

EDIT: Need to slow down and read what I type before I post...it's going to be 66 tomorrow, not 6...
