(Another gem forwarded by my folks)

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had
covertly funded a project with U.S. auto makers for the past five years,
whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four-wheel drive
pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the
circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

They were surprised to find in 45 of the 50 states the last words of
drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, SHIT!"

Only the states of Oklahoma , Missouri , Michigan, Alabama and Texas
were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my
beer and watch this."
