The World Is Full Of Daft Buggers

Ponder upon this my dear chums.

Why do those silly sods who attempt to kill themselves by driving their cars into a tree or another inanimate object always invariably wear a safety belt ? And you have to cut the bloody thing off before you extricate them.

Also, when you pick up some wailing cretin who has taken a paracetamol overdose, why do they always insist upon you putting a safety belt around them before you head off to Hospital ?

Suicide attempts my arse !

Let's not forget those insufferable whiners that cut across the wrist with a steak knife instead of following an artery.

Ahh yes, the drama kings and queens strike again!

I realize that most 'suicide attempts' are nothing more than a plea for attention, but if you're truely 'serious' about ending your life...the least you can do is DO IT RIGHT!

And if you are going to do it....WHY CALL 9-1-1?????? JUST DO IT!

Perhaps they can't start the car, due to the seatbelt interlock?

We just had a report on the news this week, a guy crashed a rental car, which he was driving while under the influence, as he couldn't use, due to damage, his own vehicle, which was equipped with a breathalyser/starter interlock. I'll presume MADD is going to use the incident in their brochures next mailing.

Some of them may have enough presence of mind to realize that their life insurance won't pay if they weren't wearing their seatbelt. Without it, not only can the insurance company argue that the deceased did not do everything possible to prevent his own death, but suicide would be high on their list of potential crash causes right from the start.
