<p>D and I were just agreeing that this is sure to be on Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me! this week.</p>
<p>I have a sicker sense of humor than I thought. Oh sorry, humour. :o</p>
<p>Expect it to be on SNL Weekend Update next week and late night monologues tonight. When I laughed outloud (& immediately posted a link on facebook) I realized I was more warped than I thought!</p>
<p>Did anyone ever see Waking Ned Devine? I couldn’t help but picture the old lady who went off the cliff. </p>
<p>I agree it will either be an SNL skit or a part of 30 Rock. A friend of Jack’s, someone who dated his mother. </p>
<p>I have to admit it did strike me funny when I saw the headline. And this is why, even though I am now a Presbyterian, I believe I am going to spend a long time in Purgatory.</p>
<p>I feel bad that I laughed just reading the title of this post.</p>
<p>Well, then you and I might be meeting in Purgatory - it would be worse if we didn’t feel guilty.</p>
<p>I wonder if it was segwaycide?</p>
<p>Truth really is stranger than fiction…</p>
<p>I’m sorry…really…but I had to pull over this morning when I heard this on the morning news I was laughing so hard…seriously? </p>
<p>Can’t wait until Weekend Update on SNL…really? with Seth and Amy…she’ll have to come back again to do this one…</p>
<p>I admit…I am a terrible person…going to hang my head in shame…</p>
<p>Didn’t he learn from the tweeting twit who drove off a cliff in August?</p>
<p>[Dr</a>. Frank Ryan was texting to Twitter when he drove off PCH cliff, cops say - Tucson Celebrity Headlines | Examiner.com](<a href=“http://www.examiner.com/celebrity-headlines-in-tucson/dr-frank-ryan-was-texting-to-twitter-when-he-drove-off-pch-cliff-cops-say]Dr”>http://www.examiner.com/celebrity-headlines-in-tucson/dr-frank-ryan-was-texting-to-twitter-when-he-drove-off-pch-cliff-cops-say)</p>
<p>I thought about SNL, too, when I saw the headline. </p>
<p>We are all bad.</p>
<p>What an unfortunate accident.</p>
<p>We ARE all bad. He was a good guy. </p>
<p>(giggle)</p>
<p>I feel even worse now because I read the fine print and found out he’s some British businessman who bought the company less than a year ago. Ouch! If their recent Olympic record is any indication, they shouldn’t be allowed to ride anything on wheels off the road.</p>
<p>It really has that irony factor going on. At the same time, I remember how everyone giggled when they thought that Joy Adamson was killed by a lion, when it turned out she’d been murdered.</p>
<p>I had to send this story to D, who is a college freshman. Her response, “See Mom. I told you so.” Two years ago we went on a Segway tour of the Chicago waterfront. Towards the end of the tour, there was a small incline. Somehow D’s Segway sped up and headed straight towards a bridge at the bottom of the incline. She jumped off it at last minute and it crashed into the bridge wall. Luckily there wasn’t any damage to the Segway.</p>
<p>
Yes, me too.</p>
<p>Part of what’s funny about this is the visual image it conjures up – sort of like those Roadrunner cartoons when the coyote runs off the cliff, hovers for a second…</p>
<p>Oh, I am going straight to hell.</p>
<p>Yes, mousegray. You probably are.</p>
<p>Apparently, from the looks of this thread, you will be in good company. See you there! ;)</p>
<p>Who needs CNN or the New York Times? I get the news I need right here.</p>
