I've been entertaining myself recently by reading Wendy Northcutt's, The Darwin Awards II which is a delightfully funny book about people so stupid that they either try to eliminate themselves from the gene pool or do so big time.
I couldn't help but think of two real life examples of JW's who should have been in this book. One fellow was a young teenage male who had just got baptized and had recently been counseled by the elders about the sins of masturbation. Evidently he didn't let that sink in and I heard that he had a rather embarrassing emergency. He decided to experiment a bit when nobody was home and took a liking to the home vacuum cleaner. In short order he got stuck on this new fetish, and couldn't get the hose off you know where. His mother took him with the vacuum cleaner attached to the emergency room, where they presumably gave him something to soften his erection, allowing him to escape the evil machine. For some reason, he seemed to avoid coming to meetings for a few months after that.
The other Darwin Award though has to go to another dub I knew in Oregon that was doing temporary pioneering. He was all hyped up about the end being near and quit his job to pioneer in a beat up old clunker of a car that dragged the muffler on the ground, had no side mirrors, looked like it went through Armageddon, and created a huge cloud of thick nasty smoke wherever he drove. Anyway, one day on the way to the Kingdom Hall for the Sunday meeting he got pulled over by a cop for making a smoke screen on the road and the dumb fool tried to witness to the cop and managed to really piss him off.
Well the cop decided it was high time to do a safety inspection right then and there on the spot and gave him 17 different tickets that ranged from having expired tags to having no rear view mirrors. The total came to amount to about twice what he paid for the car. He moaned and groaned through the meeting that Satan was persecuting him and it was all a plot of the Devil to stop the preaching work. Yeah right, too bad he didn't get cuffed and hauled in for endangering the public with his death machine. <snicker>
You got any good one's of your own about Dub Darwin nominees?
