    Those were great! I liked #7
    "Wanted in 14 counties of this state. The condemned is found guilty of the crimes of murder, armed robbery of citizens, state banks and post offices, the theft of sacred objects, arson in a state prison, purgery, bigamy, deserting his wife and children, inciting prostitution, kidnapping, extortion, receiving stolen goods, selling stolen goods, passing counterfeit money, and contrary to the laws of this state, the condemned is guilty of using marked cards...therefore according to the powers vested in us, we sentence the accused here before us Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Ramirez also known as the Rat and any other aliases he may have to hang by the neck until dead."

      I think the one of the guy shoveling snow is a recycled honourable mention. I do remember hearing about the mobile home... actually was reported as an RV at a national park. The owners returned from a hike to find a trail of blue fluid on the ground near the RV... and a lot of vomit. Same thing; the guy accidently got the sewage tank... though I find that hard to believe. Still very funny to think someone could be that stupid!

          1,2 ,3 and 5

          1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during
          a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would-be robber James Elliot did
          something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and
          tried the trigger again. This time it worked..... And now, the honorable mentions:

            Why can't all robbers pull a #1?

                Zero Grav is the culprit....he is filled to the brim with utterly useless information. And no doubt he enjoys nothing more than to share it all with us.

                    These are great blu It reminds of what I caught on the radio yesterday Some lady was freaked out because her husband has been missing for a week so she called the cops and they did some investigating and they found the husband it turns out he was at a local brothel with two of the ladies there the entire week they said the wife was very pleased that he was found alive but not so happy he was at a brothel(True Story)

                            That's about as funny as Peggy Hill inventing a new cleaning solution... the brightening power of bleach, and the cleaning power of ammonia.... Kids... do not try this at home!
