Hey Darwin, got a minute?


(Literally every slapstick comic has played this same scenario for laughs. )

Lots of genius there.

I didn't have the audio on in the video since I was on a conference call for work. Did the guy fall off or get squished under an overpass or get smacked by an overpass or what?

I read it was smacked by the overpass. I believe that there is a body outlined on the bridge similar to Wile Coyote.

The comments to the article are great.
The first one is..
"OK Florida. The ball is in your court."

But when the semitrailer traveling south on the Eastex Freeway passed underneath a bridge, the dancing man slammed into the overpass and was knocked off the vehicle, according to a Nov. 14 news release from the Houston Police Department. He landed on the freeway below.

It wasn’t the fall that killed him, it was the sudden stop.
