The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto makers for the past five
years, whereby the auto makers were installing black box voice recorders
in four-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to determine,
in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the
crash.

They were surprised to find in 44 of the 50 states the recorded last
words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, #####!"

Only the states of Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama and
Kentucky were different, where
89.3 percent of the final words were,

"Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin."

Well if the black boxes were put innto Mercedes Benz's and BMW's they would hear a female voice saying:

1 I made reservations as I don't cook.
2 The maid was late again today and I had to wait 5 minutes.
3 It's going to cost (any male name)lots of presents before I sleep with him.
4. I told(any male name) I need a more expensive car.
5. I sure would like to have sex with that neat looking guy in that FDXCC truck.

I wonder if my truck has a black box?
I wonder if the black box is there if it has an impending crash warning device that would alert me to :
BEND OVER
STICK MY HEAD BETWEEN MY LEGS
AND
KISS MY A## GOODBYE!
