Sorry for the quality of the photo but I had a heck of a time extracting it from the email my wife sent to me. (It was part of a .doc file and the only way to get it out was to print the thing then scan it) Anyway here goes.

My Friends, I give you ..... The dumbest guy on earth !!

This picture is real - not doctored in anyway - and was taken by a transportation supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of an IHOP, he went and bought a camera to take pictures.



The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust. A woman is either asleep, or otherwise passed out in the front passenger seat. The guy driving was jogging up and down on R. 925 (in the background).

Witnesses said their physical state was OTHER than normal. The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine off of the load ! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they had the customer sign a waiver. While the plywood and 2x4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains - are you ready for this ? -- 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs each. They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs.

Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the back shocks were driven through the floorboard. The car, with Florida plates (naturally), was headed for Annapolis, where the couple presumably planned to build a new house in which to smoke their crack.

I think this is pretty funny. If you'd like a copy of the story and the photo (It's MUCH better quality) drop me a line with your email address and I'll forward a copy to you.

I have that one on the counter at work. Just a warning to some of the people I get in here. I had one guy insist he wanted 6 square of shingles (1440 #) on the roof of his escort wagon, said he does it all the time. My yard guy wouldnt do it and he came into the office complaining. He ended up putting them on there by hand. Got 1/4 mile down the road, and 5 windows blew out of the thing when he hit a bump.

Howdy, John-

Great photo! Just when you think you've heard it all...

Hey, Paul, your job must expose you to the same gene pool segment as "COPS"....

Les, let's just say a few of them are swimming in the shallow end.

My first thought was that they must be from California or maybe Ann Arbor
