Man Crashes Car Trying to Flip Off the Sheriff

 

53-year-old West Virginian Glenn Harold Vickers has been arrested for drunk driving after he crashed his station wagon into a guard rail while trying to give a local sheriff the finger.

Vickers had been driving behind Sheriff Mike Rutherford and was weaving in his lane and tailgating the sheriff's unmarked jeep. As they approached an exit Vickers flipped off Rutherford just as he crashed.

Sheriff Rutherford, who was driving home from a meeting, said, "There's no question in my mind he was not paying attention. When he was stopped and I introduced myself, you could tell he was surprised. It was like all the air was taken out of him."

  He flipped off the sheriff,  
 But he swears in was in self-defense. He flipped off the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

Sheriff John Brown always hated him, for what, I don't know. Every time he tried to pass his jeep, he cut him off, before he could. So he flipped him off, he flipped him off.

That's why I say . . .!

 WTF? You make no sense whatsoever.

 Haven't you heard the song, 'I Shot the Sheriff'? Good one Volkova_Nova. Now I have that song stuck in my head. Guess I'll have to drink it out.

 It's not just rednecks, I see people up here in New Jersey get road rage all the time and it's getting worse. I don't know where people get the idea that taking out their anger while operating serious machinery and endangering everyone around them is ok.

 That' true. People feel anonymous and protected driving around in a car. They don't realize it's a tin-foil bullet of death that can take their lives instantly.

People should be forced to listen to Muzak in their cars... keep everyone cool, man.

 Please tell me you are not serious about the muzak. I think that would create more road rage.

 I'm not sure on that, on the other hand it might make people walk more, and cases of self-induced hearing loss could shoot up... :P

  I Apologize  
 For making that ridiculous "I Shot the Sheriff" reference that didn't even rhyme. I blame sleeplessness. Forgive me.

  Darn he lived...  
 I mean, it would have made a good Darwin Award.
