A security guard intending to impress
female friends took a deadly gamble, losing his game of Russian roulette
at a La Paz fast-food restaurant. Police say Victor, twenty-one, died
instantly when he put his .38-caliber revolver to his head and pulled
the trigger at a suburban hamburger outlet. Victor was trying to
“impress some female friends,” according to newspaper reports. The
ladies were not available for comment, but one presumes that they were
underwhelmed. Late Fee “In 1994, New York City’s Metropolitan Transit Authority docked Michael Durant, a 31-year-old bus driver, a day’s pay for being twelve minutes late for work. His excuse: He had stopped to pull a man out of a burning car on the highway.” (Esquire, January 1995)
