This page is dedicated to general stupidity. In our modern world we have great and wonderful technical advantages but there is a level of stupidity that defies evolution and or common sense. We can put a man on the moon and send spacecrafts to Mars but even that pales in the face of stupid people doing stupid things.
Last week, Lance E. Champion, 23, reportedly pulled in behind Deputy Lt. Stan Hillis across from the local jail and told Hillis he had violated the speed limit. By the end of their conversation, Champion was in custody charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and evading arrest.
Champion called his mother, Janice K. Champion, 48, who arrived with her 17-year-old son. The teen allegedly slapped the hand of a deputy who was gesturing for them to leave the area as Lance Champion's vehicle was about to be towed. "If you strike an officer, you're going to jail 100 percent of the time," said Sheriff Jackie Matheny.
Mrs. Champion was then taken into custody, charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Officers say she was loud and refused to obey orders.
Her husband Hal Champion, 47, then arrived from church, was shot with a deputy's Taser and taken into custody on similar charges.
All were later freed on bond.
"This is a fine upstanding family," said the Champions' attorney Michael Galligan. "These deputies acted in a harmful and inappropriate manner. We feel their actions violated the law."
Note: Why was Lance trying to pull over a deputy? Cops have guns, mace, billy clubs, hand cuffs and the ever popular - 650,000 Volt Tasers. What did Lance have except shit for brains?
In a small rural area near Pine River Wisconsin, there lives an old lady named Millie Felker. She lives in an old Scotty Trailer that has sort of an enclosed porch made into a year round residence. Her lawn is filled with all manner of ornaments, from a totem pole, the seven dwarfs and the ever-popular pink flamingoes. Kind of like a wonderland with the mixing of Disney and the old Grimm’s children’s fairy tales.
One fall evening, her son Barth came for dinner and also to watch an America’s Funniest Home Video Marathon. After the festivities and much hearty laughter, Barth left the small comfy home. He was filled with good food and was still chuckling over the wit of that Bob Saget. It was late and cold when he got into his 8 year old GEO Metro and started towards his own trailer in a near by village.
As the GEO raced down the dark country lane and the heater started to warm the confines of the car, Barth was surprised by the sounds of a very pissed off squirrel fighting his way out from under the dashboard. Now because it was cold out and Barth had left his window open a small amount, the squirrel had slipped into the car to seek shelter and perhaps dose off. When Barth started down the road home the squirrel awoke and became very agitated and proceeded to bite Barth all over his body. Imagine the horror Barth felt as by the dim dashboard light of the GEO he saw the rabid like face of the fearsome beast.
Barth never made it home that night. When the police found his car and examined his severely nibbled body, they concluded that the squirrel had run amok around the small GEO passenger compartment and caused poor Barth to crash. I can only think that the squirrel, with it’s sharp claws and those two rodent like front teeth was a formidable foe for the 275lbs Barth.
My Comment: True story. I told my family if I ever died because of something this stupid not to tell anybody. Just say I was drunk and crashed.
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- A man who says he was fired by Caterpillar Inc. because he wasn't able to urinate for a drug test sued the equipment giant, alleging discrimination.
The plaintiff said Wednesday he suffers from paruresis, more commonly known as shy bladder syndrome, and was physically unable to urinate into a specimen cup, despite having drunk 40 ounces (1.2 liters) of water and being given three hours to complete the task
