Quote : | "ASHEVILLE -- A Tennessee man says he planned to propose to his girlfriend along a North Carolina hiking trail when she was struck and killed by lightning.
Richard Butler, 30, of Knoxville tells the Asheville Citizen-Times that he took Bethany Lott to Max Patch Bald, near Asheville. He says that he wanted his 25-year-old girlfriend to think the two were only on a hike but that he had a ring in his pocket and was planning to ask her to marry him.
Heavy rain let up as the two walked toward the bald, but more bad weather returned.
Butler said Lott, who was ahead of him, turned around. "She said, 'God, baby, look how beautiful it is.' "
There were three lightning strikes. The third hit her and jumped to him.

ladies of TWW, would you consider going out with this guy to be off limits? or is it true that lightning never strikes the same guys fiance more than once? 6/8/2010 8:20:09 PM |

Btw, with his odds, he should play the lotto...
Also, on another note, what woman would date him now? He's damaged goods. "What happened to your last girl?", "Oh you know, she got tazered by god".
