The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a
project with the U.S. auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were
installing black box voice recorders in pick-up trucks.
This was done in an effort to determine, when accidents occured, the circumstances in the
last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find in the majority of cities in 49 of the 50 states the
last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of crashes were, "Oh, #*&!".
Only the city of Haleburg, Alabama was different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were:
"Hold my beer and watch this!"

Tippy's Huntin' Trip
Tippy and a buddy got a pilot to fly them into the far north for elk hunting. They were quite successful in their venture, and bagged six big bulls. The pilot came back as arranged to pick them up.
They started loading their gear into the plane, including the six elk. But the pilot objected he said, "The plane can take out only four of your elk. You will have to leave two behind."
Tippy pushed forward and said, "Hey, last year our pilot let us take out six elk. It was the same model plane, same weather conditions, and everything. What's with this? We want you to allow us to fly out just like last year.
Reluctantly the pilot finally permitted them to put all six elk aboard and the men all climbed in with their gear. But when they attempted to take off and fly out of the valley, the little plane could not make it. They crashed in the wilderness.
Climbing out of the wreckage, Tippy's buddy asked him, "Do you know where we are?"
"I think so," replied Tippy. "Yep! I think this is about 100 yards further along than where we crashed last year!"
