Why is it Always Florida?

Honestly fellas, we're not all dead from the neck up but you sure couldn't tell by the abundance of ridiculum like this:
Robber arrested after filling out job application at crime scene - Weird News - Digital Spy

Little wonder folks in North Carolina refer to us as Floridiots.

Excellent, this was a great addition to my day! I love stupid criminals!!

There was a radio station that I used to listen to and the morning show was called: Mike and Magan they had a bit that they did regularly called ‘Crime Makes You Stupid” they would report on things about the stupid things criminals would do!!

One was a guy who held up a bank in a full length bunny suit with an open face and no disguise to cover his face!! Another was a guy who robbed a bank with the note written on the back of his bank deposit slip!

My favorite one was actually local: 911 got a call and when the dispatcher asked what the emergency was she was asked:

“Has anyone reported a stolen Jeep”? She said no and then asked why he’d asked, she was told that he’d just stolen one. She started a trace and 5 count ‘em 5 police cars screeched to a stop surrounding him while he was still in the phone both talking to 911!!

Yes Brethren, crime does indeed make you stupid!!

America is like a giant pond, eventually all the crap settles on the bottom; guess where Florida is.

Florida is called gods waiting room for a reason

I realized this in 83 when I started in Miami Beach. Older people are easy to get along with when you understand them a little.
I think OldGI is referring to the dang loonies that overrun us down here.

The loonies are in Fla to pray on the old folks,I went to Fla Once,Melbourn to be exact,I thought I was on the moon

Melbourne,,,that's the nice part of Florida.

When I finish school, the fetching Mrs. GI and I will likely make a break for Panama City, Fort Walton or Pensacola (i.e. The Redneck Riviera)

Wow! Quite a statement coming from a Californian. Good thing you didn't go to Ft Lauderdale or Miami . I heard a joke once, What's the difference between Homestead, Florida and Port au Prince Haiti? Answer, there is none.
