Bad Idea
A thieving iron worker with no shame…
Today we see an odd story about an unusual theft during an Iron Workers funeral:
A brazen thief who offered condolences at a memorial service made off with $10,000 collected for the family of an ironworker killed in a Las Vegas Strip construction site mishap, friends and family members said. – [Yahoo/AP]
Now what kind of guy steals from a funeral? Seriously.
“I hope the ironworkers don’t find him first,” Ruth Brown, Rabun’s grandmother, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. She traveled to Las Vegas from New Orleans to attend the service. – [Yahoo/AP]
Which echoes my sentiments exactly. What kind of person steals from iron workers? And what kind of genious does it take to be an iron worker stealing from your fellow iron workers? You have to know that your chances of getting caught rise exponentially right?
If, as an iron worker, your gonna steal, why not steal from auto workers. Or dock workers. Or construction workers. Stealing from your own profession is just dumb. And bad form. People today…

A shave and a haircut does not a new man make…
A recent traffic stop prompted an unusual tactic by the vehicles owner:
Police said a Somerset County man fled a traffic stop, went home, shaved his mustache and changed his clothes, and reported the truck he was driving as stolen. – [Yahoo/AP]
Huh. So this dude flees a traffic stop for a simple faulty equipment violation, and tries to pull a Dana Carvey “Master of Disguise!” routine on the authorities. I’m sorry dude. Don’t quit your day job. Honestly, you ought to have a plastic surgeon on retainer for that kind of thing. Really.
Actually a better way to deal with situations like these is to lead police on a high speed chase that ends with you driving off a pier into some frigid water. That way nobody gets to see your face, and you could swim away from your sinking vehicle, take off your clothes, climb up on the beach and act like your sunbathing. Nobody would notice. Seriously.
Worst case scenario, you get trapped in your car and drown. But that way your are guaranteed not to get a ticket…
Hmmmm. Something’s different about you – [Yahoo/AP]
