Maine Humor<br /><br /> SUV Black Boxes<br /> The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged that they<br /> had covertly funded a project with the U.S. auto makers for the past 5<br /> years, whereby the auto makers were installing black box voice<br /> recorders in four-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to<br /> determine in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds<br /> before the crash.<br /><br /> They were surprised to find in 42 of the 50 states the recorded last<br /> words of drivers in 61.2 % of fatal crashes were... "Oh Sh!t"<br /><br /> Only the upstate section of Maine, specifically Presque Isle, Fort<br /> Kent, Madawaska, Houlton, Mars Hill, Van Buren, Clayton Lake, and the<br /> northwestern area including Rangeley, Greenville and Eustis were<br />different, where 89.3% of the final words were... "Hold my beer, I'm<br /> gonna try something!"
