Oooooh... This Makes Me Mad!

Here's a reason why sometimes common sense needs to be an official amendment to the Constitution.

Injured good Samaritan ticketed for jaywalking

A good Samaritan who helped push three people out of the path of a pickup truck before being struck and injured has gotten a strange reward for his good deed: A jaywalking ticket.

Family members said 58-year-old bus driver Jim Moffett and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Friday night.

Moffett suffered bleeding in the brain, broken bones, a dislocated shoulder and a possible ruptured spleen. He was in serious but stable condition Wednesday.

The Colorado State Patrol issued the citation. Trooper Ryan Sullivan said that despite Moffett's intentions, jaywalking contributed to the accident.

Trooper Ryan Sullivan. What a guy. What a trooper.

If only the guys from Super Troopers can come and kick Trooper Sullivan's ass for being moronically retarded.

Oh and it gets better:

... Sullivan said the two elderly women haven't been cited but the investigation is ongoing.

What. A. Jerkwad.

Maybe I was brought up wrong. I believed the laws our elected officials pass are suppose to benefit the society. Make it better. I don't think a strict interpretation here benefits anyone EXCEPT the local state troopers' holiday fund.

I can basically see trooper Sullivan shrugging his shoulders as he stops by the ICU and hand over the ticket to that man. Not cool at all.

Good thing it's a beautiful day out... which means I can go for a run without snot freezing on my face. Hopefully that would take my mind off this, tax dollars at work incident.

Watching Juno And Operating Heavy Machinery...

... should be considered a potentially lethal combination. Case in point, over the weekend I had a mini movie marathon with a few good friends. It was late, past midnight even. Definitely way past our bedtimes. We had just finished Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Juno was on, and chips and assorted junk foods flowing freely all around.

"I am thirsty" I declared. "Where's closest 2 liter coke?"

"Lying on the floor by your recliner, pointing approximately due north" answered the retarded friend host.

I struggle to get up from the couch potato position. I reached around, over and under and found the bottle.

"Hey it's almost empty, mind if I chug it?" I asked the friendly host.

"Sure, knock yourself out."

So as Juno tried to get her hamburger phone to work, I started to untwist the cap to the coke bottle. Then suddenly, I hear a loud noise consisting of BOING and THUMP. A few milliseconds after, I felt a sharp pain in my right eye. The white cap was no where to be found.

Apparently, there was still enough coke in the bottle that when physically shaken, generated enough compressed CO2 to make the bottle cap into a make shift paintball gun. My face, and my right eyeball just happened to be in the way.

"Oh shit, did you just shoot yourself in the eye with the coke bottle cap?" asked the hosting friend.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, brings new meaning to bust a cap in your ass!" said another friend as he laughed and pointed.

Ouch.
