National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged1 they had funded a project with the US auto2 makers3 for the past five years. The NTSB covertly4 funded a project whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four wheel drive pickup5 trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

They were surprised to find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2% of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!"

Only the state of Texas was different, where 89.3% of the final words were, "Hey Y'all, hold my beer and watch this!"
