Traffic safety officials always say you shouldn’t drive while distracted. More specifically, you shouldn’t drive while talking to your friend on the phone, eating Taco Bell and holding a knife.
Unfortunately, a 39-year-old Omaha man did that Thursday and inadvertently stabbed himself in the leg.
The man had picked up some food at the Taco Bell near 38th and Dodge Streets just before 2 a.m. Thursday and was on his way to give some to his girlfriend, according to a police report.
As he was eating and driving, he later told police, he was talking to a friend via Bluetooth speaker and looking at a knife that his friend gave him. He then drove through a large pothole or hit a bump on the road. The jolt “made him accidentally stab his right thigh with the knife,” the police report said. The man was left with a 1- to 1½-inch-deep puncture wound in the top of his right thigh.

A accidentally stabbed the top of my wrist a couple of months back. Lots of blood and would have been 4-5 stitches but peroxide, super glue and band-aids took care of it.
I was surprised at how much it hurts to get stabbed.
Taco Bell in your left hand, knife in your right while driving. Of course it’s hard to swerve around potholes while steerin with your knee. But how do you hold your drink.
Those people have always been with us. America worked as long as it did because the sensible majority kept things in working order. The attempt now is to corrupt the middle class.
Wild Kingdom.
I stabbed myself in the leg once, while trying to through frozen cheese. One of the dumbest thing I ever did, probably. One of. Probably.
While trying to cut through frozen cheese, that is.
Who doesn’t do that ... drive, hold a knife, and eat a taco? Sounds reasonable to me.
When will he sue Taco Bell for negligently selling him tacos without a stern warning about the dangers of driving while eating and playing with knives.
It seems his grandfather’s work was doodoo
Thank for reminding me, I need to sharpen my mower blade today.
Oh I hate it when that happens...
I accidentally ran over my sister’s cat as it darted across the road in front of my bike about 56 years ago. I think I ran over its tail, it screamed like Hell but wasn’t hurt. I was about 10 and my sister was almost 9.
She heard her cat scream and the little bitch, my sister not the cat, ran into the kitchen and grabbed a serrated edged steak knife and came outside and stabbed that steak knife into my right thigh about halfway between my hip and knee.
I’m 66 now and to this day I can still remember like it was yesterday how badly that stab wound felt. Besides the pain in the thigh, it hurt so bad it made me almost immediately throw up. I never want to be stabbed again.
That’s a real knee slapper.
We think alike. My first thought was this guy has, will contact or probably has been contacted by an ambulance chasing attorney and they will file a tort against the city for not maintaining the roadway.
Perhaps they can sue the guys friend for giving him the knife and sue the knife manufacturer too. I wonder if the knife is one of those black knives they sell as accessories for those evil black weapons of war assault rifles? Wouldn’t that then make this dangerous knife an ASSAULT KNIFE?
Over an inch deep - that takes quite a grip on a sharp eating utensil. Maybe his tacos were well-done.
The problem started with the phrase “Taco Bell at 2 a.m.”. After that, all bets for safety and sanity are OFF.
More likely his friend stabbed him in his easily accessible right leg.
Ok, talking on the phone, holding a taco in his left hand, supposedly holding a knife in his right hand and driving with his what?
Your sister , “Psychopath much?”
“Who doesn’t do that ... drive, hold a knife, and eat a taco? Sounds reasonable to me.”
I guess he’s lucky he didn’t stab himself in the face.
That’s pretty impressive. I can’t even rub my belly and pat myself on the top of my head at the same time.
