Even funnier are the ones who don't succeed in offing themselves and only get "honorable mentions." I think my favorite of these has to be the story of "Mr. Happy's Vacuum." Basically, the guy was trying to get his new Hoover to do his "handywork" (emphasis on hand). He figured it was a bright idea--electric suction and its own bag for any resulting mess...what he didn't count on, though, was that just part way into the tube, there was a fan blade. So, Mr. Happy gets put into the tube, the man flips the switch on the vacuum...OUCH!! I LOVE Darwin Awards!!
