Man Jumps from Truck in Utah to
Escape Bad Words

[via Jesus' General] a 21 year old man jumped from a moving truck to avoid naughty words:

Tyler Poulson was riding with his brothers last night when he became offended by one of them using profanity. Poulson, who recently returned from an LDS mission, threatened to get out of the truck if he continued.

One of the men, not thinking he would, told Poulson to.

Earlier police said the car was going about 35 miles an hour when Poulson opened the door and jumped. He was pronounced dead on scene.

I know a woman who once flashed a Mormon and caused him to fall off of his bike, but this? Daaaaamn! This is self-inflicted! That's just dumb, son! Reeeal dumb.

So maybe he just wanted to go from Latter Day Saint to Unconditional Saint?

Some years ago a sci-fi novel that I read had a great phrase for this kind of stupidity: "Think of it as evolution in action."

Anybody remember where that comes from. Was it Lucifer's Hammer? (Niven and Pournelle).

Kvatch,

Oath of Fealty

"actor212," Outstanding, and thanks! Haven't thought about Oath of Fealty in years, but a very poignant novel. Now I'll need to go and reread it.

Words can hurt you? Or cause you to hurt yourself?

This deserves a nomination for a Darwin Award.

"Think of it as evolution in action."

NO SHIT!

I guess that idiot Poulson just helped prove Darwin's "survival of the fittest" theory.
