Some yahoo is on the phone telling his friend about witnessing an accident when a guy runs a red light and hits a car with 4 old ladies in it. The guy gets out of the car and tries to get smart with the old ladies who proceed to pepper spray him, and hit him with, among other things, an umbrella, a purse and a bible. The guy describing this scene is laughing hysterically the whole time. Funny as hell.

1. That was good
It almost sounds faked, but I think it's real.

Roger, Rick and Marilyn. haven't heard them since I moved out of Toronto.

2. I don't think anyone could fake a laugh like that. The guy did a great job of describing the action
play by play as well - I don't think you could make that up either.

6. I think it is faked. I remember hearing this 3 years ago...

Snopes said it *might* be a fake, but it *could* be real:

4. Hadn't heard that one for awhile... but it's a favorite.
My recollection is that the guy was leaving a message at work (Wendy's corporate offices I believe) basically letting them know he was running late. The voice mail was sent all around to the other employees and then it hit the internet. That laugh is infectious.

10. It was codescending, IMO.
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 07:03 PM by madeline_con
The mention of what he "probably" drives was completely unneccesary and added nothing to the program. :(

Guys in pickups with gun racks are nice individuals, if people would stop stereotyping. There are good and bad of all ilks.

Case in point, the "victim" was well dressed and drove a nice car, but he was the asshole, accosting 4 little old ladies at the scene of an accident.

11. Bit of a stretch to take offense at that, imo. He absolutely was not denigrating the narrator.
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 09:17 PM by yellowcanine
He was commenting on his accent and his way of talking and where he was from - I thought in an appreciative way - I heard no condescending attitude whatsoever. Guess it is in the ear of the beholder.
