davidrb Loc: Half way there on the 45th Parallel
 
Subject: Good Bye Cruel World. Sad News

Brad lived in California..... He was sick of the world, of Covid-19, Brexit, Russian belligerence, China, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.

Brad drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could. He got back into his car and lowered all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle.

Two days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Brad from the car.

A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.

Brad is a registered California Democrat.

But you cannot “rev” the engine as told in the story. Dumb!

Dumber: He sat in the car for 2 days awaiting his demise. During his wait, did he hold his bowel movements or wallow more in them?

Of course, the OP presents the fictional saga of a political drop-out who cannot even successfully arrange his own suicide.

Absolutely not a true story.

I can see the attempt at humour, but whoever started the story is the dumb one. If you create a joke it has to make SOME sense.

Lighten up.... So Tesla's don't idle, not that kind of motor, but the joke was humorous...

Like I said, almost funny, but it missed the mark for my sense of humour because it was based on a completely false premise of idling/revving an electric vehicle. Had the jokester simply said the man started the car it would have worked for me. Sometimes less is more.

It's difficult to imagine you as a school teacher (except in Alabama public schools) given your usual poor grammar usage. What subject did you teach and at what level? Asking for a friend...
