Fox News - A Las Vegas man who fell asleep driving his car in Las Vegas last year, crashing into a chain-link fence and had a pole impale through his head, was recently reunited with the doctor who saved his life, Fox 5 News reported. When Andrew Linn first met Dr. Andrew Coates, an associate professor of surgery at University Medical Center, he was conscious – and trying to use his cell phone, which Coates said surprised him, considering he had a pole through his head. “It was amazing to see someone with a pipe through his face like that (who) is alive,” Coates said Tuesday. “Let alone someone who is awake and alert, and trying to communicate with us.”
I don't know why the doc was so surprised. Have you seen what people go through just to use their cell phones these days? We're a nation of addicts. You think the simple case of pole-impaled-through-face is going to stop this guy? Probably wanted to show off to his friends, just got done MMS'ing that pic to everyone he knows.
Even myself, just at work, I've been known to actually go and pretend to take a shit. Am I really taking a shit, well sometimes, yes, but most of the time no. I'm tweeting the blog, checking the Twitter feed, seeing if anyone posted any cute pics of their kids or dogs on Facebook. Do I go full out to cover that lie? You bet your ass I do. I lay that protective layer down, drop trow, I even wipe when I get up, doesn't matter that I didn't shit, just got to cover my tracks to protect my cell phone use.
