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.

If I got lost with number nine in your list, I would never want to be found.
LMAO!! Oh, that's toooo funny. HAHAHAHAHAHA
This story is fertile ground for a Jeff Foxworthy show.
ate a raw duck breast before he was spotted.
The French think nothing of this.
Canard Sauvage Tatar...
And I remind him every time he pisses me off.
All your base are belong to us.
Great (or twisted) minds think alike.
You think that's good for an Irish radio station?
The funniest one ever when veteran DJ Larry Gogan had a call in, where he asked people where they'd like to be buried (when they die).
One guy rang in, and a chirpy Larry said: 'Well, Peter where would you like to be buried?'
Peter replied: 'Up to me balls in Bibi Baskin' (Bibi Baskin is another former RTE television presenter.
Well that call was cut short! *L*
You owe me a keyboard.
Yep! Sure 'nuff J
LOL
(P.S. Make Your Time)
We know how the idiot is - HOW'S THE DOG?
Probably why the guy had raw duck. The dog was smart enough to get outta there! (guessing) :P
Waterproof,strike-anywhere matches would have made that duck taste a little better too.
LOL
Great headline...
Good thing he wasn't going commando.
Lipscomb drank dirty bayou water and ate a raw duck breast
Well,one thing's for sure.The raw duck will go through him pretty darn quick,since he washed it down with DIRTY BAYOU WATER.
Why the heck did he eat it raw? Didn't he know how to build a campfire? Well, I guess if he was wandering around a swamp, maybe there wasn't any place to build one? Well, either way, he got himself lost, so he obviously didn't bring a compass. The underwear was a good idea, but I hope for his mother's sake that it was clean.
"Does eating your shorts cause premature aging?"
Yes, it also causes brief indigestion.
