Risk you take.. I was taught an extremely wise acronym by a paramedic... C.Y.A (Cover Your *ss) Also is a good idea to make sure the driver has his mirror pointed into the back so you can see what's going on :P

Nothing wrong with the word Ass, it's just type of donkey. The real word Arse. So unless you have an Ass then there's no need to worry, unless you meant arse in which case you should be wearing underwear of some sort and trousers or skirt or something like that.
But anyway, Ass - Donkey; Arse - Bum

Man attacks another outside Mandurah nightclub, knocking him unconscious. Was nice enough to roll him to the recovery position before running away.

Unsafe Airline
Par Dean Sibley

Connie Kalitta (Owner) is famous for breaking airline regulations. His anti-authority attitude and huge ego is a contrary to safe operation of aircraft. These "accidents" happen when people are pressured and bad decisions are made because of the lackadaisical structure. This"accident" will no doubt be classified as criminal negligence

Toilet pump urgently loaded into shuttle

After being rushed in from Russia, a toilet pump has been loaded into the space shuttle Discovery just in time for this weekend's liftoff to the international space station, where the lone commode is acting up.

A NASA employee based in Moscow hand-carried the pump on a commercial flight that touched down Wednesday night. Within hours, the pump and related equipment were packed away aboard Discovery.
