Idiot # 1
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the
poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because
she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that
the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter
into the hospital. She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation
happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in
order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter
into the Emergency room right away.


Idiot # 2 - A true story out of San Francisco:
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch
and wrote "this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag." While
standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to
worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police
before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America
and crossed the street to Wells Fargo.

After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells
Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that
he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not
accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit
slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip
or go back to Bank of America.

Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left. He was arrested
a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.


Idiot # 3
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured
his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the
mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he
sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he
received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this
time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40.


Idiot # 4
Guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all the
cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the
robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the
shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier
refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber
said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he
didn't believe him.

At this point the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and
gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, agreed that the man was
in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from
the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the
name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They
arrested the robber two hours later.

EDIT: Some more

Just the other day, I pulled up to the pump at the neighborhood gas
station, shut off the engine, handed the attendant the keys, and mumbled
absently, "Ten dollars regular, please." He looked at me, at the
pump, then at the rear of the car, and asked if I could pull it up
a little. I must have looked at him rather blankly, because he repeated
himself, slowly, emphasizing every word. "Can... you... pull it
up... a little... please?" I answered in the same tone, pressing the
tips of my index and middle fingers together with my thumb and making a
forward twisting motion for emphasis. "Can... you... give
me... back... the keys... please?"

I never thought I'd have to say this, but apparently I do: Ladies . . . just because you've signed a contract which requires you to have sex with a man doesn't mean you actually have to do it.

I only bring this up because today's idiots are the women in this story...

Daily News Online wrote:Last Thursday, 50-year-old William Smith of Kelso, Washington, was convicted of rape . . . after he tricked three women into signing "relations contracts" with him.

Smith drew up the contracts agreeing to help three women . . . two of whom are his relatives . . . to pay for child care, housing costs, clothing and breast augmentation surgery . . . in return for sexual favors. The women say they didn't want to have sex with Smith . . . but they thought they had to since they'd signed a contract.

According to the prosecutor on the case, "[Smith's] own words tell us what he's doing . . . The language in these contracts clearly shows he knows he's committing a crime, that he wants to make them his relations slaves because he wants control."

Smith's sentencing is on December 30th. He could get up to 20 years in prison and $40,000 in fines.

Here's one for ya:

When I was a cop I was running traffic (something which I was loathe to do as I speed like my ass is on fire typically). Anyway, I pulled over this old guy who was very grumpy and way weird. His entire car was full of everything from the kitchen sink (yes really) to stuffed animals (taxidermy not cute and cuddly) to mail and old food containers. I gave him a ticket (mostly for being an asshole as I was gonna just give him a warning but he pissed me off).

When he showed up to court (which he did because I posted the court date on his citation) he swore that I didn't actually write him a ticket and he shouldn't have to pay a fine. The judge asked if I did give him something and he swore that I handed him a shampoo coupon, not a speeding ticket. Needless to say he had to pay the fine.

It relates to Clarke's Law of Intelligence, attributed the late SF author, Arthur C. Clarke.

"There are a finite number of IQ points in the world to go around. Unfortunately, the population of the world is not a finite number." (Or something like that.)

(We all know that the answer is 42.)

To see just how dumb the human race has become, just visit: Darwin Awards.

The above site basically tracks stupidity then rewards it at the end of the year with their very own award. However, most are awarded posthumously as the act of stupidity usually ends in death.

Darwin Awards wrote:Based on a bet by the other members of his threesome, Everitt Sanchez tried to wash his own "balls" in a ball washer at the local golf course. Proving once again that beer and testosterone are a bad mix, Sanchez managed to straddle the ball washer and dangle his scrotum in the machine. Much to his dismay, one of his buddies upped the ante by spinning the crank on the machine with Sanchez's scrotum in place, thus wedging them solidly in the mechanism. Sanchez, who immediately passed his threshold of pain, collapsed and tumbled from his perch. Unfortunately for Sanchez, the height of the ball washer was more than a foot higher off the ground than his testicles are in a normal stance, and the scrotum was the weakest link. Sanchez's scrotum was ripped open during the fall, and one testicle was plucked from him forever and remained in the ball washer, while the other testicle was compressed and flattened as it was pulled between the housing of the washer, and the rotating machinery inside. To add insult to injury, Sanchez broke a new $300 driver that he had just purchased from the proshop, and was using to balance himself. Sanchez was rushed to the hospital for surgery, and the remaining three some were asked to leave the course. This last one wouldn't normally count, because the idiot didn't die. But because he cannot reproduce as a result of his qualifying act of stupidity, we have allowed it.

OMG, OUCH! I think it's a good thing when people that dumb are unable to reproduce.
