Smooth Move, Megan
Hall of Fame selection
The why of Megan Mariah Barnes rear-ending another car is the interesting part.
After the March 2 crash, Barnes continued down the Overseas Highway in the Florida Keys for a half-mile before finally stopping. Apparently she needed to finish what she was doing: shaving her genitals.
But hey, it wasn't like she didn't have help watching the road! Her ex-husband, Charles Judy, was steering from the passenger seat.
OK, and why was she shaving her pubes while driving?
"She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit," said Trooper Gary Dunick. "If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it."
It's not Trooper Dunick's first weird encounter with a Keys motorist. "About 10 years ago I stopped a guy in the exact same spot," Dunick said, "who had three or four syringes sticking out of his arm. It was just surreal and I thought, 'Nothing will ever beat this.' Well, this takes it."
Barnes, 37, wasn't supposed to be driving at all. On March 1, she had been convicted of DUI (with a prior), and driving with a suspended license. She was ordered to turn in her car for impounding, her driver's license was revoked for five years, and she was sentenced to nine months' probation.
In the accident, Barnes' Thunderbird slammed into a pickup truck that had slowed down to turn. After a half-mile, Barnes stopped and she and her ex switched seats, but Troopers could prove she was in the driver's seat at the time of the crash. She was arrested and charged with driving with a revoked license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a crash with injuries, and driving without insurance. Judy, her ex, was not charged.
"It is unbelievable," Trooper Dunick concluded. "I'm really starting to believe this stuff only happens in the Keys."
So, Megan: the docents here suggest that next time, you try laser hair removal. It's smoother, and lasts pretty much for life. Yeah, we know it doesn't work for blondes, but we're all pretty sure that doesn't affect you. Oh, and Chuck? When you're steering, you're supposed to be watching the road.

Am I the only one wanting to know the pattern she chose for her bush? Heart? Landing strip? Poodle?

See what you started, Randy? Now everyone is trying to snatch a little humor out of the situation.

To those of you who have commented that this woman should have spent time on improving her hair up top rather than the hair down below, I would like to point out that none of us really know in what heinous condition her pubic area might have been in -- pre-accident, anyway. However, I really do NOT want to know. Just typing out that thought has been traumatizing enough.

Oh dear: I went for over a year without thinking about that. Now I want to bleach my brain.... -rc
