Alcohol I’m sure was involved.
Hey, if you learned physics from cartoons, you don’t fall until you study the law of gravity.
#### em.
Oh, be nice!
Among the many problems for their families and friends, their car drowned.
Cut them some slack.
PLs?
Once a mojado, always a mojado.
Who knew that gravity still worked at 2 AM?
The passenger’s last words were reportedly: “Fix the cigarette lighter.”
They watched ALL 3 Smokey and the Bandit movies. what more learnin on physics does ya need?
Also, they calculated, worst-case scenario, the car gets wet, their buddy will use his 4WD to extract it and set it in the sun for a day or two...
I told my hubby, “Hold my beer and watch this, Martha!” Oh, it was not the Texan, it was the Okie...
Steven Wright once said “put your seatbelt on I saw this in a cartoon once and I think I can do it...”
They watched ALL 3 Smokey and the Bandit movies. what more learnin on physics does ya need?
LOL, that’s what I was thinking. They needed Bandit driving that car for maximum effect......sorry their booze(?) and stupidity cost them........big time!
And maybe, they were running nitrous?
Or maybe they were sniffing it?
Both?
Apparently they watched too many movies and thought that jumping bridges was an everyday real life occurrence.
It was a lesson well taught, for they will never try that again.
I lived in Texas for some time, and I believe Texas cowboys are a damn sight tougher than Florida guys.
Like baling wire, in fact.
Appears to me that this pair was taken down by John Barleycorn.
Life tries to imitate art. This works in many movies, e.g., The Blues Brothers.
“Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin, we gonna do what they say can’t be done. There beer in Texarkana and they’re thirsty in Atlanta!” Where is Burt Reynolds and his Black TransAM when they are needed?
Hah. Survivors should sue Hollywood for mis-portraying the laws of physics. The energy needed to land at the same height you took off from is incredible; a ramp doesn’t help much, because while the front wheels are off the ramp and the back wheels are still on, the car begins to pitch downward. Seriously, people... before attempting to do this, try it with HotWheels cars! (And no using the specially designed “catching” ramp, which is short and wide.)
That is why they have to make step ladders so ‘big’ anymore.
Need enough room to put all the ‘instructions’ on it..
Such as - which direction it should be pointing prior one attempting to climb it, a warning to NOT go above top step or - one of my favorites, Do not climb ladder when BOTH hands are full.....
The ‘logic’ (there I go again) of today says my 13yo daughter can get an abortion and it is ‘none of my business’ but my 15yo son can’t put gas in his mothers/grandmothers car EVEN if she is sitting right there. (of course a teen ager probably instigated that rule...<: <: <:)
