At the three-day mark, the new mom started a signal fire that erupted into a forest fire. Within hours, a U.S. Forest Service worker located the fire, and then Pangborn and her newborn.

That's one way to get them to find you!

Fortunately she took a couple of containers of milk with her to share with her baby.

Age 35. How stupid, let me count the ways.
Cell phone charge
Gasoline
Driving alone in forest
In labor yet
Trying to do something original in labor like take a different path...

Case and point — people like this shouldn’t be procreating.

Is this a ‘bastard child’ or is she one of the protected class?

Absolutely NOT. Everybody who wants to procreate must get a government issued procreation license ... the Bureau of Procreation will find them a suitably diverse person to procreate with ... any unlicensed procreation will be subject to the very strictest genetic testing; the slightest defect will be treated with immediate termination. The purity of the race must be maintained and improved so that we can build the New Soviet Amerikkkan Man.

She didn’t win a darwin award, but not for lack of trying. And her child will be raised by foster parents while she serves her sentence for arson.

No kidding. I’m thinking that she’s too stupid to raise a child.

Nah. Nothing that drastic. Just remove the warning labels from everything and let the situation sort itself out.

In all seriousness, this would go a LONG way to bringing up the cumulative IQ of America.

LOL!

Anybody that attempts to discharge a full-house .357 Magnum cartridge from a .38 Spl revolver is a remarkably clever sort of idiot, and deserves what he gets ...
