VOICE MAIL BLOW-BY-BLOW OF FIGHT IS COMEDY HIT ON NET

ESPN should hire this guy, if they need someone to do play-by-play on car wrecks.

Six years ago, or so the story goes, Mike Childs left a hilarious commentary on a co-worker's voice mail about witnessing four little old ladies beat the tar out of a guy who hit their car and then tried to blame it on them. But only within the past few weeks has the magic of the Internet, where the recording is now posted, clued in tens of thousands to Childs' infectious laugh and his wonderful eye for detail, all told with his Louisiana drawl.

His phone is now ringing as if there's a four-alarm fire. People from around the world have heard his take on the crash.

Some of the Internet chatter suggests it was too good to be true. But true it was, Childs insists.

``It was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life,'' he said Friday. ``I have been to the summit of comedy. I have been to the mountain top.''

What's so funny about a car wreck? Here -- real or otherwise -- is Childs' story.

Childs was a construction manager for Jack in the Box. He says he was leaving a voice mail for his boss, telling him he was running late for a meeting in Dallas. It was a rainy day and some guy ran a red light, clipping a Chevy Impala filled with the ``old ladies,'' as Childs put it.

The man, about 40, Childs says, came out of his car and threw up his hands as if it was their fault. The driver rolled down the window. And she promptly pepper-sprayed him. Then she jumped out and started whomping on him with her umbrella.

Here are some excerpts from Childs' recorded description, all interspersed with his great bursts of laughter:

``This woman with a little black purse, she's tomahawking him, man! She looks like some kind of 20-horsepower jackhammer! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!''

And this: ``There's another one, looks like Mother Goose. She's beatin' him -- She's got this huge big bag.''

And this: (huge laugh) ``She's hittin' him with her Bible!''

Mark Holmes, the director of construction for the Houston office, says he's the one who got the voice mail.

``This is too good,'' Holmes said Friday, recalling his initial reaction. ``I've got to pass it on to corporate.''

Then, Childs said, it got passed on to everyone. ``One of the gurus in the computer department must have made a'' WAV file of it and finally put it on the Internet.

Today, it's everywhere. A Google search for ``voice mail'' and ``Jack in the Box'' turns up thousands of hits. Childs says he was interviewed by three radio stations Friday.

Childs said it was so funny he just got ``caught up in it,'' never thinking to hang up.

And as a godly man, he even knew what kind of Bible the little old ladies were swatting the guy with. He has one just like it. It's hardcover, and packs a wallop, he said.

But he said the man's life wasn't in peril. ``Their swings were not that of Barry Bonds,'' he said. ``He got some bumps and bruises, but he was never in danger.''

He told his wife, Stephani, about it when he got home. He said they'll be together for the rest of their lives, but don't be mad if he doesn't laugh at her jokes. He's been to the mountain top. ``It was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.''
