A guy wakes up with a massive hangover and stumbles into the kitchen, where he finds his wife.
“Hey, honey, did you upgrade the bathroom?” he asks.
“Why do you ask?” she replies, curious.
“Well, I opened the bathroom door, the light turned on by itself, and a cool breeze blew right into my face! It was amazing!”
His wife glares at him and says, “So you’re the idiot who pissed in the fridge last night!”
First UK pedestrian killed by carIn 1896, the first pedestrian killed by a motor vehicle in Britain was Mrs Bridget Driscoll of Croydon, Surrey. While on a terrace in the grounds of Crystal Palace, London, she was knocked down by a car travelling at 4 mph, and died minutes later of head injuries. The car, owned by the Anglo-French Motor Car (Roger-Benz) Company, was giving demonstration rides to the public, driven by employee Arthur Edsell. It was said that he was talking to the young lady passenger beside him. He had had been driving for only 3 weeks, and had tempered with a belt to cause the car to travel faster. After a six-hour inquest, the jury's verdict was "Accidental Death," and no prosecution resulted against the driver or the company. The first car-driver crash fatality in Britain occurred on 12 Feb 1898.« |
