DUMB CRIMINALS STORIES

BETTER HOLD ON TO THOSE PANTIES...THEY COULD COME IN HANDY

A repeat offender got a life sentence for a small-time shoplifting caper in Jupiter, Florida. The man stole $49.73 worth of boxer shorts, panties, a sports bra and some cigarette lighters from a Wal-Mart store. His fatal mistake was flashing a knife at a security guard -- which turned his petty theft into a felony. Since the man had been released from prison less than three years ago, Florida's repeat offender law required the judge to send him away for life without the possibility of parole.

INSULT TO INJURY

An unemployed sanitation worker in Miami is also facing life in prison -- for shooting himself in the privates. In a drunken stupor, the man reached for a pistol he had hidden in his pants. The gun went off, and the bullet struck the man in the... nuggets. At first, he told officers someone else had shot him, but changed his story after paramedics found the shell casing in his underwear. Cops ruled the shooting accidental, but the man was charged with a concealed weapons violation and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The maximum sentence for those crimes is normally 15 years but, because the man has a record as a violent career criminal, a Miami prosecutor is asking the judge to send him away for life. The man's public defender calls that "ridiculous," and says the man's injury is punishment enough.

HEY -- WHAT ABOUT MY ACCOMPLICE?

A luckless thief pleaded guilty to the attempted robbery of a convenience store in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The thief told a passereby he was going to rob the store, gave the man a dollar, and asked him to go inside and buy a scarf to hide his identity during the crime. The bystander took the dollar, went inside the store... and called the police.

OOPS! OF THE WEEK

A thief in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has learned a valuable lesson: if you're going to steal restaurant equipment, be sure to remove pictures of the original owner's grandchildren before setting the stuff up in your own restaurant. John Ubbing, owner of Giovanni's Pizzeria in Calabash, North Carolina, lost an assortment of pizza-making equipment in a March robbery. A refrigerator stolen in the heist later turned up inside the Myrtle Beach restaurant -- where cops found pictures of Ubbing's grandchildren still stuck to the side of it. The owner of the second restaurant was arrested.

I TOLDJA COMPUTERS WERE RUINING AMERICA!

During a high school break-in in Plymouth, North Carolina, two burglars found a camera in one of the classrooms and amused themselves by taking pictures of each other committing the crime. When they couldn't figure out how to get the film out of the camera, they concluded it wasn't loaded and left it behind. The men apparently didn't realize they'd been fooling around with a digital camera that stores pictures on a computer disk. Investigators downloaded the snapshots to a computer and got a complete photographic record of the break-in. The suspects were quickly arrested.

I THOUGHT THIS'D BE THE LAST PLACE THEY'D LOOK...!

A Nevada fugitive wanted on fraud charges was arrested in Connecticut after he blew his cover by applying for a job... as a police officer. The Connecticut cops discovered the man's fugitive status during a standard background check. He had passed both the written and agility tests before being found out. Police called the man in to headquarters under the guise of getting his fingerprints, and served him with an arrest warrant instead.

AND FINALLY...

Admitting his 0-4 record is not impressive "on paper," trainers announced that Lucky, a German shepherd guide dog for the blind in Wuppertal, Germany, is available for his fifth owner. Lucky led his first owner in front of a bus, killing him. Then he led the second off the end of a pier, drowning him. He nudged his third owner off a railway platform in front of an express train, killing him. And he walked his fourth owner into heavy traffic, abandoning him to be hit and killed. The new owner won't be told of Lucky's record -- the trainers say the dog might sense nervousness "and do something silly."

SIGNS YOUR CO-WORKER IS A COMPUTER HACKER

10. You ticked him off once and your next phone bill was $20,000.

9. He's won the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes three years running.

8. When asked for his phone number, he gives it in hex.

7. Seems strangely calm whenever the office LAN goes down.

6. Somehow he/she gets HBO on his PC at work.

5. Mumbled, "Oh, puh-leeez" 95 times during the movie "The Net"

4. Massive RRSP contribution made in half-cent increments.

POLICE QUOTES

"The handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile."

"If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

"So, you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?"

"Yes sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?"

"Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

"The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or dog?"

"Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."

"Life's tough, it's tougher if you're stupid."

"No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."

"Just how big were those two beers?

"In God we trust, all others are suspects."

Good morning everyboomie. welcome

Welcome to your sippin, surfin, sunny Sunday diner. yay

Well, it's sunny here. I hope it is where you are as well. thumbsup

Actually I prefer yesterday's cool cloudiness.

I hate the heat, hate the humidity, hate Summer. It really burns me up. mad

It's so sunny here, I haven't even gone to bed yet, and I feel the sun coming back already.

Summer time makes me miserable, or Le Miserable as they say in France. Oui! wink

I just thank the good Lord that I have so many friends here to share my misery with. lol

Super Sunday ya'll puppy

Hubby and I are back from our visit to daughter in Ohio. It was a very busy few days but lots of fun. Quite a lot needs to be taken care of today, but first, sit and sip and surf! I haven't even smelled a computer since last Tuesday. rotfl

Nan, hope the dedication is wonderful! How many greats do you have?

Just a note for you dog owners out there. We discovered the hard way that corn cobs can be very dangerous for dogs if they eat them. The vet told us that even when they chew them into small pieces, they tend to cling to the intestinal tract and can cause a complete blockage. Who knew?

Happy skooshing, Darlene wave

People and animals fed. Now it's time to unpack and start some laundry. Soot and I will go monkey walking as soon as the laundry is set. We'll have to take water and take some breaks but I Need to walk. Too much time in the car lately puppy

Then out to the store to get a few fresh things, followed by more laundry I'm sure.

Hi my Buddies,

this is another flyby (with a bad conscience). Since my solo exhibition starts Tuesday and tomorrow is "equipping the gallery"-day, I have sooooo much work to do still. One always thinks: "oh, I still have a lot of time" and then-whoosh-time is over...

Can you understand? duh

I don't crazy

I hope you all are in good mood and shape. Keep the smilies coming...

Happy Sunday from rainy Switzerland

After a rotten work morning where I made a made a horrible mess of things rotfl I got out my frustrations in a great Insanity class. It was double fun because a bunch of my old Zumba buddies were there even though 3 of the four left after 15 minutes. lol

I have to stay in the corner the rest of the day and fix my mess. shame

Have a happy happy day! Life is good.

Just spent an hour trying to get my hose reeler to not leak and to actually reel without twisting the feeder hose. What a mess. I hurt all over, couldn't find a wrench to fit all the 'fittings' and ran in and out of the house and shed a million times. Maybe 2 million. I 'think' it's fixed now but I will have to go out later and see if there are any drips. Geez. What a way to waste the day.

In other news, my walking partner's mom was taken to emergency surgery night before last. She's in the mid-West he's out here with me. His dad called him. I didn't know till he came up to watch the evenings movies and while he was asking which one I wanted to watch, he casually inserted, 'my mom's in emergency surgery'. Uhuh? Well his mom is a doctor so I was thinking she was doing something, but it turned out SHE had a perforated ulcer (she didn't even know she had an ulcer) and her hubby came home to find her doubled up on the floor in extreme pain. Off to hospital and thankfully they operated immediately and things are going well. Need some prayers if you can spare some that her recovery is swift and complete. She's 82 and being a doctor, she's driving the staff at the hospital nuts. rotfl I told him that's a good sign that she's feeling OK.

Nothing else exciting here for now. Hoping things remain calm. No fireworks, no police, no ambulances or fire trucks. Happy neighborhood.

Hi guys. Back from my trip to Amherst for the 55th college reunion for my client's hubby. What a beautiful town Amherst is. Although the heat wave we were in was draining, it didn't spoil anything for the class reunion. Great people. But I'm tired as I had to go back to work for 5:00 to 8:00 for my normal shift.

Need to say good night. I'll be here in the AM. Sleep tight.

Midgie sleep


Just do it.

Just a fast flyby to say hello. Busy day. My poor Mum now has an infected tooth so have been giving her antibiotics and pain meds all weekend. She is with us overnight. She is so very confused...very hard to bear. She was an incredible woman in her day and for well into her eighties. Very cold and windy start for June here too. Hoping some of the garden will germinate!! Off for some tv before going to get my Mum for the night. Sorry to be so melancholy, I'm okay mostly. Best of luck to you Evelyne, your work is beautiful, you know I love it!!! Good Night and Happy Gaming!!
