With Friends Like These...

Who needs disposal squads?

An Australian man has told how he narrowly escaped being crushed to death inside a rubbish lorry after he fell unconscious following a night out.

CCTV footage shows a group of men tipping Wayne Griffin into a bin which hours later was collected by a compactor in Perth.

In Australia drinking seems to be treated as both a science and an industrial project. Before she left, our lone Australian employee would regale me of various Amusing Incidents and even detailed her purpose-assembled "drinking outfit" (t-shirt, sweat pants, special flat-soled sneakers). Makes me wonder why this sort of thing doesn't happen more often.

I seem to remember some drunken Australian cutting his own head off with a chainsaw as part of a bet. Darwin award and the like.

I guess that whole "do the job right" thing applies...
