Darwin Award Contender - Camping related (sort of..)
« on: February 27, 2012, 07:39:24 AM »
One of the contenders for the Darwin Award this year is sort of camping related....it involves an RV, at least:

When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street by sucking on a hose, he got
much more than he bargained for.

Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage.

A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline, but he plugged his siphon hose
into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake.

The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.
You can't spell 'funeral' without 'fun', nor 'manslaughter' without 'laughter'
