Passing the blame

by

When Ruth Park’s lost in her re-election bid as 2001 recorder/treasure of Horseshoe Bend, Ark, she filed a challenge with the Federal appeals court. This past March the court turned down her challenge.

She had blamed her election loss on a conspiracy by the Mayor and Police Chief however, the court ended up concluding that it was the voters, not a conspiracy that led to her defeat.

The voters might have lacked confidence in her since she has a prominent belief in UFOs and she and her husband have conflicting views as to whether she’s personally ever been abducted by aliens. She says she hasn’t, but her husband states that she has many times and that the aliens have left scars.






Oh to be so naive …

In the year 2003, a Bryn Mawr College student, Janet Lee, attempted to board an airliner with several flour-filled condoms. She claimed that her classmates and she used the soft and squishy condoms as stress relievers. They would give them a squeeze to ease their tension.

She must not have ever listened to the news or read a paper if she didn’t know that drug smugglers tend to fill condoms with cocaine and heroin and use mules who swallow the condoms in order to get the illegal drugs into the Country.

She was astonished when she was arrested at the Philadelphia airport and then jailed for three weeks until the lab could verify that the substance was indeed flour as she had claimed it was.

Unfortunately for the city of Philadelphia she smartened up and strapped them with a lawsuit for wrongful detention and was awarded $180,000 in January, 2007.

You can bet she’ll never make that mistake again!

Is there an award for dumbest criminal?

Some criminals are so dumb they really should find a new line of work.

Daniel Brown, 22, of Hartselle, Ala., thought he was smart when he wore a ski mask to hide his identity from his grandfather when he staged a home invasion this past January. What went wrong? When he burst in to the house he yelled, “I need your money, and I mean it, Pa-Paw.”.

To top things off he was stupid enough to try denying that he was the man behind the mask when he was arrested.

Then there’s Glenn Vickers, 53, who was allegedly intoxicated while driving on Interstate 64 near Kanawa County, W. Va. He decided to tailgate a driver that day. Guess who he was tailgating as he weaved on the roadway? None other than Sheriff Mike Rutherford who was driving an unmarked car.

After Vickers jockeyed behind Rutherford for a while, he peeled off at an exit and flipped Rutherford the finger. He should have paid more attention to his driving though since the act of raising his finger high caused him to crash into the guardrail. I guess it’s a good thing he didn’t end up hurting anyone while he was DUI.

Some people!

Well … that’s one way to fix a broken car. I’m not sure that I’d want these guys to work on my car.

Especially if that chair breaks.

I guess cheap plastic and metal chairs are a lot stronger than they look. It’s amazing that it’s even holding up the car.

Then there’s this poor car.

Look at the observers. It looks like they’re pointing off in the distance saying things like “It came out of nowhere … from that direction I think.”
