Title: 2010 "IDIOT of The Year" List!
Post by: GrayBeard on February 09, 2011, 03:54:22 pm
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 , CA 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 , CA , 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. Unfortunately, he  failed to keep his hand in his  pocket..  (hellooooooo)!



8. THE  GRAND FINALE!!!
Last summer, down on Lake  Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east  of Bakersfield, CA, some folks, new to boating,  were having a problem.  No  matter how hard they tried  they couldn't get their brand new 22 foot boat  going. It was very sluggish in almost every  maneuver, no matter how much power they applied.  After about an hour of trying to make it go they  pulled into a nearby marina, thinking someone  there may be able to 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 propeller 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!
