Do NOT Visit Poland

Oh, we know they're a good friend to the US in general, but frankly, it is getting entirely too dangerous in that country. It's not the crime or anything like that. It's the things falling that are out of hand. First, it was the rain of falling St. Bernards. Having 110 pounds of large, furry animal hurtling at your head can be disconcerting. That's pretty bad, mind you, but it pales in comparison to the latest road hazard.

Falling, nearly naked Ukrainians.

WARSAW (AFP) - A drunken Ukrainian trucker wearing nothing but his underpants had a lucky escape after falling from his cabin while driving on a main road in central Poland, local police said.

The 43-year-old landed directly in front of a car which was trying to overtake his truck, but the vehicle's driver successfully swerved to avoid him, said Mariusz Gierula, spokesman for Plock police.

Now we could ask why the truck driver was driving around wearing only his underpants. But after we thought about it for a moment we decided we really didn't want to know.
