Man Leaps From Car to Retrieve Cigarette

FOREMAN, Ark. (AP) -- A leap of faith proved hazardous for a smoker in need of a cigarette fix after a night on the town.

Jeff Foran suffered trauma to his nose, eyes and chin after jumping from a car traveling 55-60 mph. Authorities said he was trying to retrieve a cigarette blown out of the passenger-side window.

Foran, 38, took the leap Saturday night, state police Trooper Jamie Gravier said.

The driver of the car, Jerry Glenn Nelson, said Foran had asked him earlier in the evening to be a designated driver after a night of drinking.

"Foran did the right thing and asked his buddy to drive him home," Gravier said. "It was obvious he was extremely intoxicated."

Gravier added: "If anything could make him stop smoking, this should be it. The man is lucky to be alive."

Okay maybe a honorable mention..... or is that dishonorable??

Stupid people should not be allowed to drink. That is just silly.

There was a saying in biology class, when dissecting a worm:

No brain, no pain.

There are many cities around the US that have smoking bans in public places... most recently Madison and Appleton. Anyways, I saw a bumper sticker today

"At least I can still smoke in my car" the lady had a nice smoke sitting inbetween her fingers.

So are you proposing that they give you some sort of test when you order a beer? (Not that I'm necessarily opposed to that.)
