Some people just can’t take a hint. Some of these people work for the Securities and Exchange Commission.

One driver who had his license revoked by an officer during a traffic stop got right back in his car and sped off, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.Police caught the man driving at more than twice the speed limit. Of course, this with under the rules of the metric system and if my calculations are correct, police caught the man breaking the sound barrier.

Police revoked the man’s license on the spot, and the driver immediately got back in his car and drove away. Police arrested him for driving with a suspended license. He offered to drive himself to the police station.

Short & Sweet.....

(March 1989, South Carolina) Michael Anderson Godwin was a lucky murderer whose death sentence had been commuted to life in prison. Ironically, he was sitting on the metal toilet in his cell and attempting to fix the TV set when he bit down on a live wire and electrocuted himself.

Stupid Criminal Of The Day

I’ve always wondered what my last words should be on my deathbed. I believe it would be something like, “Get me two blondes, the dumber the better” or maybe at least one redhead depending on what kind of mood I’m in that week. It might be chauvinistic, but it’s the best use of a deathbed I can think of.

One man, however, found the worst use of a deathbed when he confessed to murdering a neighbor more than 20 years after his crime, according to the BBC.The man never died. In fact, he got better and police charged him with the murder. That will make his funeral eulogy awkward to write.

He even called police to his home to make the confession because he thought he was dying. Police eventually sent him an arrest warrant in the form of a get-well card.

(10 January 2007, Germany) A 63-year-old man's extraordinary effort to eradicate moles from his property resulted in a victory for the moles. The man pounded several metal rods into the ground and connected them--not to household current, which would have been bad enough--but to a high-voltage power line, intending to render the subterranean realm uninhabitable.

Incidentally, the maneuver electrified the very ground on which he stood. He was found dead some time later, at his holiday property on the Baltic Sea. Police had to trip the main circuit breaker before venturing onto the property.

The precise date of the sexagenarian's demise could not be ascertained, but the electric bill may provide a clue.

Half-Wit, Full Moon

There is never a reason you should ever moon a federal court judge. Except maybe if the case involves your ass. I hope the prosecution would call mine “Exhibit Fabulous.”

A law lecturer accused of threatening court officials mooned a judge during her trial, according to the AAP Wire Service.The defendant had to be dragged out of the court several times for screaming, disruptions and derogatory comments she made about the justice system. Her chief complaint? That it didn’t work better in her favor.

During one of those disruptions, she turned around, bent over and dropped trow. The judge told her to sit on it.

Ump on a Power Trip?

(AP) WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa – An umpire has emptied the stands at a high school baseball game, ejecting the entire crowd of more than 100 fans for being unruly.

Umpire Don Briggs said he had no problem with any of the student athletes during Thursday's game between Winfield-Mount Union and West Burlington.

He said he had to take action because fans were being unruly, yelling and arguing.
However, West Burlington Superintendent James Sleister said he didn't see any unusual behavior and said he thought the umpire overreacted.

The game resumed after a 40-minute delay. West Burlington won 12-11.

The umpire called police as a precaution. West Burlington police officer Al Waterman says there were no arrests. He says he saw no unruliness himself.

(2003, Australia) Parents often warn that firecrackers can blow your hand off, but as a 26-year-old Australian learned, they can also remove your gonads from the gene pool. An ambulance rushed to an Illawarra park after receiving reports that a man was hemorrhaging from his behind. The mercifully unidentified man had placed a lit firecracker between the cheeks of his buttocks, stumbled, and fell upon it.

"We do caution people against these acts," said Acting Senior Sergeant John Klepczarek of the local police.

Emergency surgeon Dr. McCurdie said the resulting wound looked like "a war injury." The explosion was forced upward, "blasted a great hole in the pelvis, ruptured the urethra, and injured muscles," rendering the man incontinent as well as sexually dysfunctional. He survived to tell the tale, making him eligible for the dubious honor of a Living Darwin Award.

If you’re ever pulled over by the police for a traffic infraction, there aren’t many made-up excuses that will get them out of your hair. Usually, the best excuse is the truth. Note the fact that I said “usually.”

A man stopped by police said he was chasing after a man who had just stolen his marijuana, according to the Hazleton Times.The stop was part of a “Buckle Up” awareness campaign to make sure people were wearing their seat belts. Something tells me he “forgot.”

The driver admitted to police that he was speeding, but it was only because someone had stolen his iPhone and three bags of pot. That explains a lot. You’d have to be high to buy one of those things!

Beer run on a lawn mower leads to OUI charge

VASSALBORO, Maine – A Maine man has been charged with operating under the influence after he and a friend made a beer run on a riding lawn mower.

Police say 51-year-old Danforth Ross of Vassalboro was charged May 29.

Trooper Joe Chretien had been flagged down by several motorists warning of a wayward mower and made the arrest after Ross and his friend emerged from a variety store with two cases of beer.

Ross' driver's license had been revoked, so the pair opted for the lawn mower.

Ross couldn't be reached for comment.

Stupid Criminal Of The Day

Most criminals break into houses, stores and orphanages. Some really dumb criminals break into poisonous snake enclosures, room sized furnaces and the business end of private shooting galleries. This criminal tops all three of those categories.

Police arrested a man for breaking into a prison, according to the AP.The man broke into the jail so he could sell drugs and tobacco to the prisoners. He also once broke into a Weight Watchers meeting so he could sell pizza topped with ice cream and into a GM stockholders confab so he could sell Nigerian email scams.

So for his crime against society, he will serve 19 years…in prison! That’s like sentencing an inmate who escaped from prison a trip to Disney World.

(9 October 2008, South Africa) For several days Johannesburg office workers watched a demolition worker slowly chip away at a pillar supporting the concrete slab above him. One observer said, "I wondered how they would drop that section." The walls were gone, and only the supporting pillars remained.

Dozens of observers watched the slow and senseless demolition proceed. Finally the only possible outcome concluded this epic battle. The besieged support collapsed, crushing man and machine beneath a pile of rubble. Ishmael Makone, 52, was killed instantly inside the cab of his mini-excavator.

"I cannot believe they did not foresee this," said a shocked witness who did not forsee this. Observers said they had been concerned about the workers' safety for several days. "There was no common sense."

Family axes wedding plans, Egyptian cuts off organ

CAIRO – A 25-year-old Egyptian man cut off his own penis to spite his family after he was refused permission to marry a girl from a lower class family, police reported Sunday.
After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, said a police official.

The young man came from a prominent family in the southern Egyptian province of Qena, one of Egypt's poorest and most conservative areas that is also home to the famed ancient Egyptian ruins of Luxor.

The man was rushed to the hospital but doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added citing the police report filed after the incident.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press, added that the man was still recovering in the hospital.

Traditionally, marriages in these conservative part of southern Egypt are between similar social classes and often within the same extended families — and are rarely for love.
