The 2005 version of the annual Darwin Awards have just been released. I am too techno-challenged to post a link, so you will just have to Google them if you want to see the others. This one, however, I decided to share.
A little old lady was walking out of a grocery store when some local thug knocked her down and stole her purse. He managed to get away, but the old lady and a few bystanders got a good enough look at the guy to give the police something to go on.
A few minutes later, a patrol car spots the guy, cuffs him and puts him in the car. Patrol car then transports the guy back to the scene of the crime where other cops and the little old lady are still assembled.
Cop pulls the guy out of the car, walks him over to the little old lady and asks, "Can you make a positive identification?"
Before the little old lady can respond, the detained suspect says, "Yessir. That is definitely the lady whose purse I stole."
If he hired me, my advice would be to plead "Not Guilty by Reason of Stupidity." The guy is obviously too damn dumb to form criminal intent.
