Man Eats Raw Duck Before Undies Save Him
22 minutes ago
ROGERS, Ark. - There's a reason Mom says to always have a fresh pair of underwear. The Rogers city attorney learned this week that it's to attract rescue helicopters.
Ben Lipscomb found himself lost in the flooded backwoods of Bayou Meto this week while duck hunting with his Labrador retriever, Josey Wales.
He only managed to make it out by tying his white briefs to the end of his gun barrel and waving them at an Arkansas State Police helicopter.
Decked out in full camouflage hunting gear, Lipscomb was practically invisible as the helicopter made several passes at dusk.
"They had passed over me a couple of times," he told the Morning-News of Northwest Arkansas after he was safe and sound back at his City Hall desk. "I knew I had to do something to get their attention."
Anticipating a cold night in the wilderness, Lipscomb drank dirty bayou water and ate a raw duck breast before he was spotted.

LOL. Does Ireland have an "FCC"????
Just for more chuckles I'd love to know what this guy weighs.
Any pics?
Is it possible to freeze in Arkansas?
Maybe he was hunting in his shorts?
Oh well, he doesn't sound like a candidate for special ops. :o)
Undies + duck headline ping.
"Maybe he was hunting in his shorts?"
No, his shorts were on the end on his gun.
Is there a moose involved in this story?
What's an FCC?
The FCC regulates our broadcast media and our radio frequencies. It is most known for being the censors which fine radio (and non-cable TV to lesser extent) programs for 'indecency'.
Nope, not even close. There's no mention of beer, no indication that fundamentalist Christianity was involved, no tie to the fact that global warming has increased the number of lost lawyers, no mention of the underwear's impact on women and minorities, and no explanation of why it's Bush's fault. All in all, a lame MSM effort.
Not only that, but no mention of moose, cheese, taking a shower or AYBABTU! :~D
A guy can have a h*ll of a weekend in Vegas with that stuff...
Oh yeah...we do have a complaints board. But swearing is a little more..um, laissez faire, in Ireland - and jokes like that one aren't exactly the broadcasters fault! :-)
