TOP 8 MORONS OF 2006

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 putted 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!

Is it a bad sign for California if at least half of those happened in California?

I think it's probably a good sign for CA. They were <span style="text-decoration: underline">noticed</span> there! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
