I was listening to NPR's Car Talk program while reading the newsgroup
messages this morning. A caller had a ball joint break when he was
driving, and he didn't want to pay for a tow, so he put the pieces
back in position, wrapped it in duct tape (he had a roll in the trunk
because it was an old car and he'd need the duct tape for something,
sometime) and drove it home.

OK, that part's pretty smart.

He said he'd been driving it that way for about three weeks.

But that part's just plain stupid.

So I guess resourcefulness & being a candidate for the Darwin Awards aren't
mutually exclusive, after all LOL!
