Wash. man electrocuted by urinating on power line
Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.
Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel (PIM'-en-tel) said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.
However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.
Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.
Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.

Yipes--an awful way to go.
When I was a young whippersnapper, talking City Slickers into peeing onto tractor engines or electric fences used to be a guffaw-producing stunt among farm boys.

Cops: 'Distracted' drunken driver slams into home
LEWISTON, Idaho - A couple escaped unharmed after they left their kitchen for the living room, just moments before a pickup truck came crashing through the kitchen wall. Lewiston police said a drunken driver was apparently participating in sexual activity with a passenger when he lost control, left the road and drove a 2003 Dodge pickup through the house, coming to rest in a nearby yard.

And people wonder why I think there should be a test before people are allowed to procreate.

If it's that easy, we should fire all those controllers and get some high school kids who'll work part time and not ask for benefits.
