Black Boxes
Over the last five years the N.T.S.B. has been covertly funding a project with U.S. auto makers wherein the
auto makers have been installing "black boxes" in all four wheel drive pick up trucks that they have
manufactured. This was to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the
crash. They were surprised that in 41 of the 50 states the last words of the drivers in 61.2% of the fatal crashes
were: "OH PooP!"
Only in the states of Arkansas, West Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, and
Tennessee were they different, where in over 89.3% of the crashes, the final words were:
"Hold my beer and watch this."

Black Boxes
I know that this is a joke but the sad fact is that GM is actually putting these boxes into their vehicles. I saw it on a local news report which I do not care to watch but it is the only one on that early. They place them under one of the seats in most cases.
But I can tell you from experience that my exact words were right when our truck spun around and headed for the ditch right before it rolled into it that my exact words were, "Oh..............!"
