I got this email today thought it was pretty funny. If the story is true the police kept this idiot from being awarded his darwin award. My Friends, I give you THE DUMBEST GUY ON EARTH! This picture is real - not doctored in any way - and was taken by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went to buy a camera to take pictures. The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust. The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the load! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed. The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they made the customer sign a waiver. While the plywood and 2X4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains -- are you ready for this? -- 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each. They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the back shocks were driven through the floorboard. The car, with FL plates, was headed for Clanton, AL where the couple presumably planned to build a new house. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Didn't see it posted yet: http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/lumber.asp Entirely true (quite the rarity for those types of emails). UAE? I didn't see that coming at all.
I saw a older station wagon delivering the local newspaper recently. The whole back was filled with paper, and it looked like it was close to bottoming the shocks.
I love stupid people stories. Here in town a couple days ago was the following story: Fire Destroys Table Mountain Rd. Mobile Home Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 04:35 PM Bill Johnson MML News Director Jamestown, CA -- Fire completely destroyed a mobile home, its contents, an outbuilding, truck, boat and trailer Sunday afternoon on Table Mountain Rd. adjacent to Homestead Bed and Breakfast. The first alarm was sounded close to noon. Mike Harstad was working on hubcaps on a boat trailer when he discovered a wasp nest. He retrieved a can of Pledge and a lighter in an effort to torch the nest. Accordng to CAL FIRE Investigator Rommie Jones the can caught fire and Harstad threw it in nearby vegetation. That action caused the fire which destroyed the mobile home in addition to burning approximately one acre. The mobile home was valued at $25,000, its contents at $15,000 and the outbuilding, truck, boat and trailer had a combined value of approximately $5,000. Units responding included Air Attack, the 404 helicopter along with Air Tanker 83 from the Columbia Air Base, the Tuolumne County Fire Department and CAL FIRE. No injuries were reported to either residents or firefighters. I laughed my ass off! Just think, the outbuilding, truck, boat and trailer had a combined value of approximately $5,000! I think it's cool, as my 'Hooterville' county is now down one POS boat, truck and trailer! Image Unavailable, Please Login
