tim2 2,347 Report post Posted May 29 (edited) To cheer you up, try the Florida Man Challenge - go to Google (other search engines are available) and type Florida Man followed by your birthday and get the headline from the first (or best) story. example (not my birthday) - "Florida Man May 29th" Mine is "Florida man who carried alligator into liquor store doesn't remember the incident" In the interests of equality I also tried Florida woman - "Florida woman who pulled alligator out of pants during traffic stop gets probation" Bonus points for non-alligator stories. But, to be honest, it's going to be an alligator story. Edited May 29 by tim2 1 2 Quote "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gingerjon 12,625 Report post Posted May 31 There are *so many* but the one I relate to most is “Florida man arrested for calling 911 because he wanted vodka”. That and the one where a (presumably) different Florida man was arrested because he had a slash in a convenience store because it was too much hassle to wait till he got home. 1 Quote Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
