'She's hittin' him with her Bible!' (interview with the Jack In the Box phone guy)

ESPN should hire this guy, if they need someone to do play-by-play on car wrecks.

Six years ago, or so the story goes, Mike Childs left a hilarious commentary on a co-worker's voice mail about witnessing four little old ladies beat the tar out of a guy who hit their car and then tried to blame it on them. But only within the past few weeks has the magic of the Internet, where the recording is now posted, clued in tens of thousands to Childs' infectious laugh and his wonderful eye for detail, all told with his Louisiana drawl.

His phone is now ringing as if there's a four-alarm fire. People from around the world have heard his take on the crash.

Hilarious!!!

I was talking to a friend/business associate on the phone the other day when he suddenly said "Whoa! There was just an accident in front of me!" I'm going to have to send this to him and tell him that he needs to brush up on his reporting skills ... LOL!

"That kind of laughter is pretty damn hard to fake. Hell, he could hardly speak...JFK"

Yeah, I agree. Besides why would he bother to fake it? I wouldn't assume a prank call like that would be anything but dumb. I mean, it isn't THAT funny.

I think it probably would have been very funny to witness the wreck first hand, but his recap was mainly only funny because he was laughing so hard. Towards the end you could tell he was laughing so hard, he could barely catch his breath.

The first time I heard this was about three weeks ago. I laughed so hard my sides hurt and I had tears running down my cheeks.

Some things you just can't make up.

Sounded like it was contrived by a Hee-Haw writer.

Which would be OK if it was funny... at all.

If you can duplicate that call with a Word document I might change my mind.

BUMP for one of the biggest laughs I've ever had in my life. The .wma file arrived in my company email over the weekend. The guys' laughter is so contagious. There's no way this was faked.

This one tops The Great Milwaukee Stadium Running Sausage Slam.
