This is probably also what I would say if I were ever found passed out in a ditch.
He fell down a 40m ravine and bottle didn't smash?
All we know is he made it to the bottom with three days worth of wine. Statistically , he likely started that fall with more than three days of wine.
Priorities
"His attempt to rescue himself using a ladder constructed from Baguettes sadly failed. Thankfully, rescuers were able to locate him after a passerby noticed a thin trail of cigarette smoke rising from the ravine."
Truly glad he got rescued, fuckin' hell I hope it was at least a decent bottle and that there's no lasting injuries.
Unfortunately he lost the string of onions around his neck in the fall
This is peak French.
This is an ad from Big French Wine
He didn't just survive, he thrived.
77-yo, rolled 130' downhill, survived with what he had on him. I feel like most y'all would simply die.
I would, but that's my choice
I mean, yeah, but he's probably healthier than me. Even after the tumble.
this is just such a french headline it's incredible :D
The baguette cushioned his fall, and he only had passionate sex 6 times.
Could have lasted a week if he had a baguette and some cheese. Lesson learned.
HwarHwarHwar
Christ, what a walking (cycling) stereotype.
I guess if he got hungry he could have started on the string of garlic he was wearing around his neck.
Only if he'd already finished the baguette!
I knew isotonic is not the best bicyclist's drink to carry around.
Of course, this is a standard accessory on any French bicycle.
That website does not work well on mobile, just warning folk
Why wouldn't you carry it in a shopping bag?
But then how do you carry the shopping bag?
Guy from the news article did it
His bike wine carrier was probably already full so he had no choice.
Yes, I too like to store my thick glass cylinders next to my femoral artery.
