Yes, it's kind of shocking that Tom didn't jump in the way of that
rolling truck and try to stop it with his bare hands. Shocking,
simply shocking...



There were two questions:

1. What's funny about a serious accident?

2. If you see someone at the ramp having problems, do you offer to
help, or do you sit on your ass and laugh?

Apparently, for some here, the answer to 2 is sit on your ass and
laugh.

I don't recall asking why Tom didn't try to stop the truck.


Perhaps someday Tom will have a serious accident while towing,
launching or retrieving his boat. Perhaps someday you'll hit a reef
and your boat will sink. Be sure to let us know how funny you think
it
is.





You REALLY oughta get a life. Must be miserable to be you.


So, we should add you to the list of assholes who think accidents that
happen to others are...funny.

Wait, you're already on the list of assholes.

some accidents are because of extreme stupidity or carelessness. And
they are funny. Look how popular America's Favorite Video show is.

And the folks that enjoy that show will just have to be added to the
infamous "list".

How does AFV come into the picture here? They state that they do not
accept videos that show people being seriously injured.

We were talking about accidents being funny. Not about people being
injured. Even a couple of those were probably funny, when it was preceded
by ', here, hold my beer'.

Agreed one hundred percent. It's just that igmo went off on a rant about
laughing at human comedy, and that one should never do it, even when the
outcome is not serious or deadly.

Pollyanna syndrome.

There was a show called ' that's incredible ' that was on TV of next
to no time some three decades ago. There was this guy who would stand
in the road and jump while a car would pass under at 60 MPH. They
showed him getting a couple of broken legs. I couldn't turn it off
fast enough.
