Shaving Between the Knees Causes Crash in Florida Keys

(Cudjoe Key, Florida) I would guess that many drivers have asked a passenger to momentarily take the wheel in order to attend to a distraction such as reading a map or reaching in the back seat but I'm certain that nobody has asked a passenger to take the wheel so the driver can shave her pubes. Until now, that is.

A 37-year-old woman driver, Megan Mariah Barnes, has been accused of driving illegally and causing a crash because she was de-whiskering her crotch while her ex-husband, Charles Judy, took the wheel.

At the time, Barnes' license was revoked and she was on probation for a previous driving offense. Nevertheless, Barnes was behind the wheel of her Thunderbird and pruning her bush when she plowed into a pickup driven by David Schoff of Palm Bay, causing minor injuries to his passengers.

Barnes and Judy then tried to switch seats but they couldn't fool the Florida Highway Patrol troopers from knowing who was driving. Airbag deployment indicated that Judy was in the passenger seat since he had physical markings from the airbag. The driver's airbag didn't actuate.

Barnes faces charges of driving with a revoked license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a wreck with injuries and driving with no insurance.

Explaining herself in the driving while shaving incident, Barnes said, "She was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit." What a swell gal, eh?

By the way, isn't there a Burma Shave ditty from way back when that addresses shaving while driving? Maybe somebody remembers.
