top eight idiots of 2002

1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP?
   
   AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months,
   saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He
   received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps
   it's not Walter who's lacking intelligence.
2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS:
   Police in
   Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to
   subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside
   his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters,
   officers discovered that the man was standing beside
   them in the police line, shouting, "Please come out
   and give yourself up."
3. WHAT WAS PLAN B???
   An Illinois man, pretending
   to have a gun, kidnapped a motorist and forced him
   to drive to two different automated teller machines,
   wherein the kidnapper proceeded to withdraw money
   from his own bank accounts.
4. THE GETAWAY!
   A man walked into a Topeka, Kansas Kwik Stop, and asked for all the money in the cash
   drawer. Apparently, the take was too small, so he
   tied up the store clerk and worked the counter
   himself for three hours until police showed up and
   grabbed him.
5. DID I SAY THAT???
   Police in Los Angeles had good
   luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't
   control himself during a lineup. When detectives
   asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words:
   "Give me all your money or I'll shoot," the man
   shouted, "That's not what I said!"
6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING??
   A man spoke frantically
   into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her
   contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this
   her first child?" the doctor asked. "No!" the man
   shouted, "This is her husband!"
7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!!
   In
   Modesto, California, Steven Richard King was
   arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America
   branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a
   finger to simulate a gun, but unfortunately, he
   failed to keep his hand in his
   pocket. (hellllllooooooo!)

8. THE GRAND FINALE
   Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft. boat going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power was applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted to a nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition. The engine ran fine, the out drive went up and down, and the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard. NOW REMEMBER... THIS IS TRUE ... Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer.
