An intoxicated passenger leapt out of a car traveling 50-60 miles per hour to retreive a dropped cigarette. Reacting to the incident, Arkansas state police Trooper Jamie Gravier said, "If anything could make him stop smoking, this should be it. The man is lucky to be alive."
Yeah, blame a drunken leap from a moving vehicle on smoking.

Wait. Shouldn't he give up *drinking* in this situation?

After all, were it an SUV....

Posted by: Brett at May 25, 2005 8:44 AMI guess he wasn't riding in one of those cars that automatically locks all doors as soon as the vehicle starts moving.
Heck, it's hard to get the doors open after the car stops in one of those things.
Posted by: Lornkanaga at May 25, 2005 12:02 PMPerhaps he was weighing the cost/benefit ratio of such a risky retrieval based on the taxes he paid out on the smokes.
