This is a very interesting moral quandry. What if the charitable works - not just the money he personally raised, but the awareness he spread - directly resulted in saving hundreds of lives, including ickle tiny babies?
Is there a morality balance, where good deeds outweigh the bad? Like dropping the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to shorten the war and save millions of lives?
Perhaps to redress the balance - a sort of delayed punishment towards Jim's memory we visit all those people in the 70s who were saved from disfiguration and injury by wearing a set belt (before it was compulsory) following Jim's sage advice - and twat them in the face with an anvil, Tom and Jerry style?
Same with those at Stoke Mandeville - helped through his charitable work. Let down the tyres on their wheelchairs/sabotage their prosthetic limbs.
It could be done by his victims and their families as a form of psychological therapy.
Hey, f**k it, let's got the whole hog and make a TV show out of it....
You could have his victims and family lying in wait, Road Runner/Koyote style, on a tall building waiting to push a piano on someone saved in a car crash who was belted up as a result of Jim's wise words?
Title?
Any ideas?
I was also thinking that possibly there was a child in the 70s whose life was saved because they were seat-belted up in a car-crash, just outside Hull*, owing to their parents hanging on Jim's every word in the clunk-click ad. This child avoided certain death..phew!
However, fast forward a few years to a cub scout convention in Cleethorpes* where said youngster is now alone in the private tent of a certain James Savile esquire to receive his badge for winning whatever.....
As Jim pins on the badge he can't resist a little tweak of the lads woggle and a stroke of his tent peg.....
Just a thought......
*Doesn't have to be these places...could be anywhere at all really.
There just isn't enough comedic use of the word woggle anymore is there.
