Teen Gets Foot Stuck In Road, Dad Laughs
19-year-old Graham Merrington was crossing the street in front of his house when a patch of road collapsed under him causing his leg to get stuck and firefighters to come rescue him. The road is notorious for its shoddy upkeep, and is constantly being patched up by repair crews.
The day Graham was trying to cross the street happened to be a rather hot one, which caused the tar that patches up potholes to melt. Graham was stuck for nearly an hour as firefighters cut away the road surface around him. (It will come as no surprise if this cut-away hole is filled with the same tar that swallowed Graham's leg.)
Graham is none too happy about the accident.
"I have badly injured my ankle, torn my ligaments. I'm really upset about it. I'm a keen footballer and now I won't be able to run for the next six weeks."
His father, Wilfred, on the other hand, was quite entertained by the whole ordeal.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw my son with one leg in the hole, I did tell him he was pretty stupid though," he said.
That's right, while his son was stuck on the road—which is frankly one of the scariest places to be caught defenseless in as a car could speed around a corner and run you over at any moment—Dad was just hanging out on his lawn drinking a pint and heckling. If you hate you children enough to laugh at them when they're in clear danger and tearing ligaments left and right, why do you even bother having any? Why not just get vasectomies while you're young? You know, like cats and dogs. Trust us, if you just go away, no one will miss you. Go ahead, give it a shot. You can always get them reversed if you change your mind.
YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN THE PETITION AND GET PAID!
