BYB Express

It's Friday again and you know what that means - it's time for the BYB Express. Don't think of it as getting less blog. Just think of it getting more time to try and dry off from all this rain.

F My Life Moment of the Day
Today, while driving on a totally deserted, long, straight road in the middle of the bush, I sneezed and drove right into a pole on the side of the road. It was the only pole for over 50 km. FML

WILDCAT THROWBACK



I guess I should have known that the Wildcat formation wasn't entirely new but I didn't realize that the late, great Walter Payton had operated out of it when he was with the Bears. Imagine if he played in it today with all the plays they have out of it now. He would have been even more unstoppable. That just goes to show you though. Nothing is new. It's just some variation of the past.

I BREAK FOR NAKED STRANGERS
Naked man hit by a bus
By PAUL TURENNE, QMI Agency

WINNIPEG - A naked man who was apparently hit by a bus on Pembina Highway Monday morning was taken to hospital in unstable condition.

The incident occurred shortly after 10 a.m. Monday on Pembina right at the Jubilee underpass.

A woman who assisted the man at the scene said he was breathing but unconscious, and was covered in bruises and scrapes.

The woman said -- although she didn't witness the accident -- that it appeared he had jumped over the guardrail off a grassy berm at the northwestern corner of the underpass, landing directly in the path of a bus that was southbound on Pembina.

She said the man appeared to be in his 20s.

"He was completely naked except for a gold bracelet on his wrist," said the woman, who didn't want her name used.

The woman said a few people helped out during the bizarre scene, with one woman taking it upon herself to direct traffic away from the man and another trying to cover him up with a shirt.

The woman herself went to help the injured man.

"I put my hand over his mouth and I felt hot air," she said. "I was prepared to do CPR but once I knew he was breathing I just tried to comfort him. I just kept squeezing his hand and talking into his ear."

The woman said few people offered to help the man in the seven-plus minutes it took for the paramedics to arrive.

"It was pretty upsetting," she said. "What bothered me is nobody would do anything."

Well this just goes to prove the old adage - shit happens when you party naked. I don't for one second feel sorry for this guy. If he wanted to take advantage of the kindness of strangers he should have thought about that before he went running through the street naked. And the people that did come to his aid can stop pointing fingers at those who didn't. I didn't sign up to give mouth to mouth to any naked guys. She probably didn't either because that hot air from mouth excuse is about the worst I've ever heard. If that guy was wearing slacks she would have been blowing him up like a balloon. So there you go folks. The next time you go running out of the house make sure you've got your trousers.
