Ban Falling Objects!
Not only do you have to look left, right, front and back around here, now you have to look up:
- A 50-year-old man was killed Friday morning when a car he was working under slipped off a jack and fell on him in the city's Archer Heights neighborhood.
The man was working under a car on the 5200 block of South Archer Avenue when it slipped from a carjack and fell on top of him, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was pronounced dead at 8:22 a.m. at the scene.
- A Chicago man died Saturday afternoon in Grant Park when a commercial-grade coffee machine he was setting up fell on him during preparation for the Bike the Drive event.
- A deer slams through the windshield of minivan filled with kids, and everyone walks away OK. CBS 2 [...] spoke to the mom behind the wheel.
Heidi Conner and her four kids made it through an eight-hour road trip with only one stop — until something stopped them.
“I’m driving, everything was fine. Boom, and I have a deer lying next to me in my car,” she says.
Hopefully, we don't start seeing attacks from alligators or mole-men.

I hope Ed Burke bans coffee machines. For the children.
I'll bet you two bucks to a donut that one of these days someone is killed from something that is thrown from a downtown high rise balcony. Been on calls where idiots have thrown bottles, cell phones, plants, clothes, toys and yes even a gun that almost hit a off duty cop standing in a bus stop. Imagine his surprise when it started raining 45s. But my all time favorite was a full pan of lasagna thrown from a 21st floor. At first we thought it was blood and guts but it just turned out to be dinner made by a pissed off wife.
Gravity. It's not just a good idea. It's the law.
Oh, but the mole-men are already attacking. Witness the wildings going on downtown.
Sorry but mole people have been attacking people since I've been on the job. If you been on the job long enough you know who the mole people are.
Sharknado, coming to a street near you soon......
Accidents do happen. We can't outlaw them.
Ban gravity
We had a guy a few years back have his head crushed when is jack stands broke. It as like a ketchup packet squirt across the alley. Never trust a jack stand alone.

There is no such thing as gravity, the earth just sucks.
Ban deer and roads!
Ban vending machines and coffee!
Ban car jacks and cars!
It must be a new epidemic across the country. I think this 'Holy Shit - Watch Out, Agnes!' story from NYC takes the Grand Prize ... thus far anyway...
*Woman injured by flying saw in NYC* CBS News || New York
'Authorities say a pedestrian was injured when a circular saw blade used for cutting concrete at a New York City construction site came loose, flew about 100 feet through the air and struck her. The victim was hit in the leg as she was walking in midtown Manhattan.'
Now that will ruin your friggen day...and night...and sleep! Prolly need a new Rx for Valium after getting whacked by a flying saw blade.
And speaking of a Deer in your car. Joe, a Deer, and a Dog. 911 Call
Is the deer OK Uncle Lar?
