Samples
Here are a few samples
from mailings:
Today's
bonehead award goes to a Ford dealership in Tonawanda New York for
giving away a customer's car to a thief. This story was reported in the
Buffalo News.
Stephen Gandel
left his red Mercury Sable at the dealership for service. During the
afternoon, a repair technician entered the waiting room and saw a man
who looked like he was waiting for something. So the technician asks
him if he's waiting for the red Sable. When the man said he was the
technician handed him the keys. The car, later found, had some
two-thousand dollars damage done to it which the dealer says they'll
repair for free.
From the Chicago Sun-Times: Burlington Homes in
Bakersfield, California has announced that it will no longer sell homes
to lawyers. They say their "experience is that home buyers who are also
lawyers threaten litigation (requiring significantly greater management
time as well as legal fees and resolution costs) at a dramatically
higher rate than home buyers who are not lawyers." A lawyer is suing.
Today's bonehead award goes to the State of
Minnesota bomb squad. A few days after Jesse Ventura was elected
governor somebody called in a bomb threat declaring they left a bomb at
the state capital. The ever impressive bomb squad arrived and took all
necessary precautions. Everyone knew their life and limb were safe in
their hands. Until .... a gust of wind blew the package out of the back
of the bomb squad truck onto the road where a car then ran over it. So
much with instilling the public with awe! and thank you to the "lucky"
motorist for helping to prove there really was no bomb.
Today's
bonehead award goes to Virginia Chadwick for coming up with one of the
stupidest ideas ever to get revenge on her husband. If there ever was a
demonstration of cutting off one's nose to spite their face, then this
is it. The story was reported by the UK Mirror.
Virginia Chadwick wanted revenge on her estranged husband. So she hired
a 12-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy for 2 pounds each (about $3 ?)
to beat someone up so she could blame it on her husband. So who was to
be beaten up?. Nope, not her husband. Nope not someone else. Her! to
beat her up. And beat up she was. This plot almost worked too. Her
husband Paul, 31, was convicted of assault and fined 450 pounds and
faced losing his job as a prison manager. But the kids admitted the
whole story about how she paid them to hit her in the face (of all
places) with a beans can. She's being charged with perjury.
How
about this profound quote from Representative John Kasich (R-Ohio) on
why he should be the Republican presidential nominee.
"I think people are looking for someone who is of the people."
This is so true. But we haven't heard yet from the animal rights folks
so we'll reserve final judgment.
