@ real dummies on the road

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two soldiers on a lark decided to pull the old "dummies in the road trick" but with a difference, They decided to be the dummies!

Unfortunately, the first driver to come along thought they were the standard straw-filled dummies normally used for the prank, and didn't even bother slowing down.

Police later caught up with the driver and informed him that he'd accidently given the two hapless soldiers a lift to the Pearly Gates.

This story (from Mother Russia) is a lot more amusing to me than the usual "teen full of angst lying across the road" stories we tend to get! According to the article, Muscovite pranksters regularly throw straw dummies on the road to scare drivers. Why these two mooks chose to be the dummies is beyond me, but it's funny as hell! Thanks, Captain!
