accidentally
shot himself to death in December Jacob, forty-seven, in
Newton when, awakening to the sound of a ringing
telephone beside his bed, he reached for the phone but
grabbed instead his loaded Smith & Wesson .38
Special, which discharged when he drew it to his ear.
Darwin Award: Testing Faith
A
splinter religious group that test their faith by
standing in traffic lost one of their members when she
was struck by a vehicle on I-55 while professing her
beliefs to the passing motorists. It was not her first
attempt to win converts in the middle of the busy
freeway, but it was certainly her last.

The Last Supper
A terrible
diet and a room with no ventilation were blamed for the
death of a man killed by his own gas. There were no marks
found on his body, but an autopsy revealed the presence
of large amounts of methane dissolved in his blood.
His diet had
consisted primarily of beans and cabbage, just the right
combination of foods to produce a severe gas attack. It
appeared that the man died in his sleep from breathing
the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed.
Had his
windows been open, the flatulence wouldn’t have been
fatal, but they were sealed shut to create a nearly
airtight bedroom. He was an obese man with an unlimited
capacity for creating methane gas, and a deadly disregard
for proper ventilation.

Pregnancy
Q and A
Q:
Should I have a baby after 35?
A:
No, 35 children is enough.
Q:
I’m two months pregnant now. When will my baby move?
A:
With any luck, right after he finishes college.
Q:
What is the most reliable method to determine a
baby’s sex?
A:
Childbirth.
Q:
My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that
sometimes she’s borderline irrational.
A:
So what’s your question?
Q:
My childbirth instructor says it’s not pain
I’ll feel during labor, but pressure. Is she right?
A:
Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an
air current.
Q:
Is there any reason I have to be in the delivery room
while my wife is in labor?
A:
Not unless the word “alimony” means anything to
you.
Q:
Do I have to have a baby shower?
A:
Not if you change the baby’s diaper very quickly.
Q:
Our baby was born last week. When will my wife begin to
feel and act normal again?
