Women's Best Friend

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

The situation I am about to describe is not a candidate for a Darwin Award, but it very easily could have been. A couple of years ago, my family visited a remote area of Ontario, Canada. While most of the family was out on an excursion, my normally intelligent wife and her sister were playing cards in the cabin. My wife, seeing a black puppy dog on the porch of the cabin, ran outside to pet the friendly puppy. My wife's sister, with better eyesite, went for her video camera. I don't know which was more surprised when my wife scratched the puppy's rear end, her, or the bear. From the video, though, the look on her face was classic as she slammed the door, screaming about a bear on the porch. The bear wasn't very amused either, as he cleared a three foot railing wearing a trash can on his head! Although we still visit Ontario every summer, it's too late now for a Darwin Award as she now has offspring!

We have so many "stupidity with animals", that I normally would vote to reject - but if you can submit the video, that would be worth it.

Submit the video and maybe Darwin will post it.

Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest

Hardback. 304 pages. Autographed.

The human race's most popular humor series returns with a brand-new collection of macabre mishaps and misadventures. Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves from it, the Darwin Awards III shows once more how uncommon common sense still is.

Salute the sheriff who inadvertently shot himself--twice! Witness the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw! Heed the story of the farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag! Cringe at the man crushed by a branch he'd just severed... directly over his head!

123 new stories, 18 full-page illustrations, plus discussions of transgenic animals, the origin of life, and more.

Autographed by Author!
