Subject: Little black boxes..
The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they
had covertly funded a multi-state project with auto makers where
black box voice recorders were installed in 4-wheel drive pickup
trucks and SUV's in an effort to understand the last 15 seconds of a fatal accident.
The Board was surprised to find the recorded last words of drivers
in 48 of the 50 states were all the same: "Oh, S _ _ _ !"
Only the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota were different, where
the final words were: "Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin'."
