Top Idiots List
Number One Idiot
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology
at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very
upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I
quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there
would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She
calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to
mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in
order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her
daughter into the emergency room right away.
Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.
Number Two Idiots
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield
decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were
successful in getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly
after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast
Guard helicopter coming towards them. It turned out that the
chopper was homing in on the emergency locater beacon that
activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer
employed at Boeing.
Here's your sign, guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.
Number Three Idiot
A true story out of San Francisco: A man, wanting to rob a
downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and
wrote "this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag." While
standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began
to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might
call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he
left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo.
After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the
Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling
errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him
that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written
on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either
have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank
of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK"
and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting
in line back at Bank of America.
Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read
it anyway.
Number four Idiot
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap
that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car.
Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40.
Another sign (though this guy might be onto something worth
thinking about)!
Number Five Idiot
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and
demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
This guy definitely needs a sign!
Idiot Number Six
A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously
waving revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When
his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
This guy doesn't need a sign, he probably figured it out himself.
Idiot Number Seven
Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He
decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block
and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block
bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking
him unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of
Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape.
Oh, that smarts. Give him his sign.
Idiot Number Eight
Ann Arbor: The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a
man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 12:50
A. M., flashed a gun and demanded cash. The clerk turned him
down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.
Sign please.
Please note that all of the above people are allowed to vote.
I think Number seven was me. Let you all know after I speak to my lawyer. I'm not sure if I can make bail though.
