The unstrip club?

1) Go to a strip club.
2) Bring your wife.
3) Get upset when the strippers invite your wife on stage with them.
4) Storm out, yelling and threatening your wife.
5) Go to jail.

Most of the local radio stations in here have segments dedicated to the weird stuff happening in Florida.

I liked that link--in fact I did view all 20 examples. Most liked by me was the Glock 9mm taking out the lion fish and the citizen cell phone jammer. Good stuff!

I passed the Glock solution the lionfish population to a diver friend. He's never owned a gun, but he's seriously considering it now.

This is in the "you can't make this up" category.

1) Man visits friend, leaves a dump in the toilet.
2) Man is told to flush the toilet.
3) Man responds by threatening friend with a machete.
4) Man explains to police that "**it happens".

Because, **it happens

We have another entry in the "Florida" category. It's interesting that the article flew under the radar in Florida news (we're kinda used to this kind of thing) and it took an out-of-state media to report it.

Man coaxes alligator to bite his arm so he can pour beer down it's throat.

If she won't go out with you, threaten her with a machete. And to think I used to believe that this only happened in West Virginia and Arkansas.....

I just had an FIT Grad student try tell me "voltage is inversely proportional to current change"

I feel sorry for the space program ... no wonder that NASA said they used to know how to get to the moon but they "Lost that information and no longer know how to do it"

yeah that was a quote from a NASA Engineer

current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) I have no Idea what FIT Teaches today
But they are full of SHIP
