Life Imitates Shtick Comedy

This has to be the funniest news story I’ve heard in a long time. Or at least it turned out to be since the guy didn’t get hurt or anything. Basically what happened is, this guy in a wheel chair was crossing a 2 lane highway at a cross walk when his wheel chair got stuck in the grill of a semi truck as the traffic light turned green. The guy apparently rode for countless miles on the front of the semi before the police pulled the driver over.




In another news story where life imitates shtick comedy, actor Rob Lowe hit a golf ball during a celebrity golf tournament in Iowa. The golf ball then struck a bird that was in mid-flight. As it turned out, the bird was a rare Goldfinch that was immediately identified by locals as the Iowa state bird.

I just think it’s really funny because I have seen both of these incidents in movies before.
