I hope they charged him for the rescue. And his truck is probably on a resale lot in Texas already.    :clap:

Article said they didn't since he wasn't perpetrating a hoax. He was legitimately that stupid.

I expect the internet to accede to my wish that this should be captioned someday.  O0

It takes a lot of work to destroy a truck.

That was a VERY important truck. It was carrying Yamamoto's laundry out to be dry-cleaned and when it was destroyed, he had nothing else to wear that didn't have 'wrinkles'.   L:-)    So we won the war.

Probably steadier now that they've been freed from his arms.

Speaking of Darwin Awards.  Of course a Encyclopedia can stop a .50 round.....

Tragic for all involved, but I seriously can't grasp the amount of stupidity required for this to occur.

Horrible. Incredibly stupid, but still awful.

Well he got his fame alright. But at a too terrible cost I'd say. Better to be alive with a pretty girlfriend like that.
