I don't know if half of these are true. But they sure are funny. So brighten your day. and have a read.
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 ten 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 (I LOVE THIS ONE!!!)
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east
of Bakersfield, California, some folks, new to boating, were having problem.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft. boat
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 out drive went up and down, and 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. NOW
REMEMBER...THIS IS TRUE... Under the boat, still strapped securely in place,
was the trailer.
Does any one else find it frightening the majority of these took place in
California??

No Nor am I surprised that is just more examples of what is wrong with that state.

Lol! I have heard that last one. several times. I would venture a guess that they are all real. They sound silly. But if you ever watch americas dumbest criminals you'll know what I mean.

A Quote from Mr. G.Carlin :" Imagine how dumb the average person is and realise that half the people in the world are dumber than that."
Kinda says it all, don"t it...

There's another one that says the average intelligence of a group gets lower as the group grows... Or rather that the stupidity gets thicker in a group. Finnish is a wonderful language for describing complex things with few words:
"Joukossa tyhmyys tiivistyy"

Or something like that....
