Well, if this isn't one of the wildest things my lookin' balls(eyes) have ever seen, I don't know what is! Drivers in Oklahoma got quite a shock when they saw a prisoner hanging out of the back window of a transport van, orange uniform and all, begging people on the road to help him escape. You can watch the video by scrolling down.

I'm not sure what this rascal is expecting someone to do. Are they supposed to pull up behind the van so that he can jump onto the hood of their car like freakin' Indiana Jones?

Also, are we sure this wasn't a stunt for a movie or something like that?
