Default Diesel fumes bad for the heart as well as for the brain . . .

You stupid people in your diesel boats breathing these dangerous fumes for
long periods of time. This may well have been what caused Dave (the lawyer)
to expire.


I'm wondering why anyone would purposefully inhale diesel fumes for
long periods of time. The very noticeable smell of diesel exhaust
would make it obvious to anyone exposed to it to go get some fresh
air.

Now contrast that with gasoline engine exhaust, which is mostly
oderless... at least not enough odor to wake you up if you're sleeping
like diesel will. Gasoline exhaust will just keep you sleeping,
permanently.

So if I had my choice as to which type of exhaust to be exposed to, it
would be diesel all the way. That is, unless I was trying to commit
suicide.

I know you're just trolling, but this subject is important enough to
respond to.
