Made me laugh, thought I would share!

TOP EIGHT MORONS OF THE YEAR

1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP? AT&T fired President John Walter
after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it's not Walter who's lacking intelligence.

2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS Police in Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing 10 tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them in the police line, shouting "Please come out and give yourself up."

3. WHAT WAS PLAN B??? An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun, kidnapped a motorist and forced him to drive to two different automated teller machines, wherein the kidnapper proceeded to withdraw money from his own bank accounts!

4. THE GETAWAY! A man walked into a Topeka, Kansas Kwik-Stop, and asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied up the store clerk and worked the counter himself for three hours until police showed up and grabbed him.

5. DID I SAY THAT??? Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery
suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words, "Give me all your money or I'll shoot", the man shouted, "That's not what I said!"

6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING?? A man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor asked. "No!" the man shouted, "This is her husband!"

7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!! In Modesto, California, Steven
Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch
without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun, but
unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his pocket. (Hellllllooooooo!)

8. THE GRAND FINALE (this is priceless!!) Last summer, down on Lake
Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, Cal. some folks new to boating were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22-foot going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power was applied.

After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted to a nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition. The engine ran fine, the outdrive went up and down, the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath, he came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard.







Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer.



:) Happy Thanksgiving guys, drive, fly, safely.

Boats aren't strapped to trailers, they simply sit on top of them.

Never owned a boat before notfred ?

They most certainly are strapped to the trailer, in front with the winch and in back with a wrap around strap, these prevent the boat from jumping off it's trailer during transport.

If some of these people were to go ahead and die I am sure they would qualify for Darwin awards.

Our boat was attached with the winch at the front, but never had a strap at the back. I never remember any of our friend's boats having straps at the back either.

My suggestion for the list.

Cannon Shell Turned Table Leg Hurts 8 Montenegrins

BELGRADE (Reuters) - A Montenegrin family thought a World War II artillery shell was the ideal replacement for a broken table leg -- until it exploded, injuring eight people as they were about to eat a meal.

The Miskovic family in the town of Danilovgrad was preparing the local specialty of grilled pork fat on the table when the old shell went off at the weekend, the Yugoslav daily Vecernje Novosti reported Monday.

"It was our own idea to replace the missing leg with this cannon grenade," house owner Milovan Miskovic said. "We thought it was harmless...it was here in our courtyard for some 50 years."

But "all of a sudden, we heard a loud bang and then everything went black."

The newspaper reported the victims suffered only light injuries

That's sad. It really is.

Here in B.C. we have a something called Crime Stoppers, where they do a 30 sec. re-enactment of a real crime and ask people to call in with tips. Well they have actually had the criminals call in telling them that that's not how the crime took place and that that's not what they look like! Dumb dumb dumb dumb....dumb!
