| Bye-bye to Waving |
| 2008-01-15 |
| CANBERRA (Reuters) - An Australian man who waved out of a car window at two young women was expected to lose his arm Monday after it was almost severed by another passing vehicle. The 20-year-old was a passenger in a pick-up truck at Bunbury, in Western Australia state, when he waved at two women in a car wash. OOPS! But as he put his arm out the driver made a right hand turn and the man's limb was struck and almost torn off by an oncoming four-wheel-drive. Poor guy. He just wanted to be friendly. I can imagine what the driver feels like. "His left arm was partially severed and doctors believe the limb may need to be amputated," police said. |

| #6 My mom always said: Don't stick your arm out too far, it might go home in another car! |

| #5 My mom always told me, "look right, look left, [and then wave at girls engaged in wet t-shirt contest]". She was right, I still have both arms. |

| #4 Listening to (Canadian) radio commentary on this, it seems the 2 girls were involved in washing a car and our hero was, shall we say, distracted by the adhesive qualities of the wet clothing to these two lithesome bodies and, his attempts to display his innate instincts cost him his limb...... |

| #1 Drive kind of close together in Western Oz do they? In the states you can pretty much stretch your hand out and come nowhere near the closest car except in very unusual circumstances. |
