Rainwater collected in aspirin bottle, no less.

1. Hmmm.... What exactly was this guy up to?
Supposedly he was riding an ATV when he had an accident, but luckily for him he had a bottle of aspirin and an aluminium bat with him. An aluminium bat? What the hell was this guy doing? He obviously wasn't about to play a game of softball, as he was totally alone, and no-one missed him for two days, so why the bat?

But get this, he screamed out in pain when he tried to roll over, which is what first got his son's and brother's attention, but then had to throw rocks at his aluminium bat to guide them to him. Why didn't he just yell?

Something smells fishy about this, not least because he talked to a local TV station, but refused to comment when approached by AP.

2. Maybe he felt like a jackass
The press is always shoving microphones in people's faces when they shouldn't be.
