Bound and Gagged by Dana Summers for May 20, 2011

Another Texter bites the dust.

Let this be a lesson to people who drive and preoccupy themselves.

Well, that went right to the point!

Everyday the corner between the parking lot and the building I work in is a risk to cross. Everyday I count at least 3 people on cells racing through the intersection most of them coming within inches of hitting multiple people that are crossing (when they have the walk sign!) The worse is when it’s a cop on a cell that almost hits you.

Saw a great bumper sticker….. “Honk if you love Jesus…. Text while driving if you want to meet Him.”

Death texts: Hey, bet you crash while reading this… :D

There’s been some mistake. He wound up in the wrong place.

Thanks for this one.

Drinking, talking on your cell, texting, and anything else that is distracting are all hazardous. And people who don’t get it are stupid, ignorant, arrogant, and selfish.

Death is life’s way of telling you to slow down.

Text of in coming text, ‘Just a reminder, your tee time is in 5 minutes.’

I caught myself in an idiot moment;“That jackass on the cellphone just cut me off.I almost dumped the cigarette that I was rolling in my lap.”

I LOVE your strip, Dana. This one, however, is bittersweet and, sadly, prescient. In 2015, one of my university piano students died in a car accident due to be being distracted by texting. She was only 26 years old.
