“rugged country version of the Segway.”

I want one. Monster truck size.

Maybe he should have read the shorter Cliff’s Notes version of the operators manual...

He should've been wearing a helmet.

“A man dies, and y’all make fun of it. Disgusting.”

Yup. It happens all the time, even with good men.

If you zoom into his place on Google Maps, you can see that he fell just down from a Dam so it’s probably a pretty good cliff.

There’s a big difference between actually procreating and participating in some passionate potentially procreative promiscuity.

Should have ridden more Gingerly.

Maybe Ginger was riding with him. Hope she is ok.

Why would I want to do that? It’s bad enough that they have everything mapped out. They did miss marking the spot where they found the segway though. btw, don’t those things have brakes?

Pride goes before the fall.

Nobody on a Segway has any Pride.

Everyone dies. The best you can hope for is for your death to be remembered.

One could have the same accident while walking the property, but less likely. Laziness has its price, but it is usually not so high!

Remember the hype before it was introduced? One story was that it was an anti-gravity device. Too bad it wasn’t.

He bought the firm last December ...

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to drive.

When I saw the derelict magician brother from “Arrested Development” riding one, I knew it was a bad bad investment - because you like like a big dork riding one.

Oh Magoo, you’ve done it again!

I was thinking of a different cartoon character...
