texastrophies Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 http://www.lcsun-news.com/las_cruces-news/ci_15478153 Naked man hospitalized after drinking game leads to prosthetic leg being set aflame (5 p.m.) Sun-News report Posted: 07/09/2010 04:55:12 PM MDT LAS CRUCES - A 47-year-old Dona Ana County man is in a Texas burn center after a drinking game left him nude on the side of the highway with his prosthetic leg in flames. Sheriff's deputies learned that the victim and friends were drinking Monday and had made a bet that whoever drank the least would be set on fire, according to a news release. The victim told investigators that since he drank only six beers, the least amount, he agreed to let his friends set him on fire. The victim, who has a prosthetic left leg made of plastic, said his friends set his leg on fire, which spread to his buttocks and lower back area, causing severe burns. Not being able to stand the pain, the victim disrobed. His friends then decided to take him to the hospital but became "nervous and dropped the victim off" on U.S. 70, the release said. Witnesses reported seeing an individual walking on a U.S. 70 bridge with his leg on fire. Another witness reported that the victim was naked, while other witnesses reported that the victim was struck by two cars and even attempted to jump into passing vehicles as well into the path of an oncoming tractor-trailer. When questioned by deputies if he had asked his friends to stop at any point in time while setting him on fire, he stated "no, he lost the bet" and therefore did not attempt to stop them. The man was taken from MountainView Regional Hospital to a Texas burn treatment center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowJoe Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I didn't crack up until I got to the part about him being questioned by the sheriff's deputy about asking his friends, at any time, to stop burning his leg. His reply, "No, I lost the bet." Now there's a guy who takes his bets seriously. Hillarious!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
