I've been to a lot of accidents, cut open a few cars, felt legs bending in a
few extra places...........and I gotta tell ya, I've never had to unbuckle a
dead guy! Lots of people not wearing belts had assumed room temperature,
but none in my experience wearing a seatbelt.

Oh, I think I could tube this guy.....if you look closely, you can see his
uvula hanging amidst the debris. The ones that are hard to tube are the fat
guys with no neck. This guy has conveniently removed all the usual obstacles.
