Florida: Land of the Stupid Voter

Need we say any more?

[ncountylee]

A homeless man obsessed with tennis star Anna Kournikova swam naked across Biscayne Bay in search of her home and got caught in the buff at her neighbor's pool. As police arrested him, he screamed, "Anna! Save me!"

Hey..it was worth a shot.

I live in FL and I can tell you there are some crazy people here. It's like the area is in a constant tug of war between liberal northerners, old fashioned southerners, trailer trash, and just plain families trying to make a living.

It is a different world here. When I read stories about Austrailia, I sometimes wonder if the places are similar. People there seem to have the same independent streak.

The beagle, which was put to use in the Everglades

This isn't weird. Beagles are used in Guam to search for snakes hitching rides from Hawaii.

Actually there are several Floriduuhs. It all depends on which county you live in. Some are heavily rat infested--Broward--WP.bch, while others offer a decent way of life Escambia, much of N. Fla.
But with 800 people relocating per day(some even speak English) we are destined to become a huge melting pot of multi language dudes. The sad thing is few consider it their home state.

Ever notice how many bizarre sex offenders make it to the national news, from Florida? 

It's like Florida has as many sex-criminals as half the rest of the country combined.

 

 

That's not....actually....funny, though.

I thought this was going to be a Dave Barry column. He's made a career out of Florida weirdness.

Florida did indeed have scores of weird stories in 2005, from the woman who concealed a stolen parrot in her bra to a beagle puppy that was trained to sniff out pythons to a Key West man who robbed a bank with a pitchfork.

**giggle**

I've been living in South Florida for over 25 years and trust me.....it's ALL true. Just when you think that you've seen it all.......something else comes along!

Florida ... oh, jeez, the land of hurricanes, hanging chads, recount after recount, an even 50-50 'Rat/Repubic split, and stupid and careless voters causing a presidential election crises.

They can be smug.

We have a lopsided share of this countries idiots because idiots believe sunshine will make their wallets grow even if they're empty, food will taste better in 100% humidity, mental health issues will dissolve in 96 degree heat if cooked long enough, and fresh air is wonderful.

The reality is we have zero income tax, air conditioned windowless homes, best CCW & personal protection law in the country, a Sunshine law to keep our politicians (in state) in check, homestead tax exemptions, live alligators to threaten your wife, kids neighbors dog and the mail person with, one and a half seasons of clothing is all we need, our Spanish illegal residents hail from a true dictatorship, we recipricate anyones driver's license without question and 'old sparky' has been replaced with a well used needle.

We also have a saying: WE DON'T CARE HOW YOU DID IT UP NORTH.

And the invasion continues.

All the fruits and nuts used to roll down leftward into California. Now Florida gets half of them (I live in FL)

A few years ago, there was the case of the brave little dachshund, swallowed whole by an alligator, she chewed her way through his hide, killing him in the process. The family had seen her swallowed whole and thought she was a goner, but a short while later there she was on the back doorstep, with barely a scratch. The vet credited that incredible dachshund digging instinct for saving her life. Punta Gorda is where this happened. Well, we all know dachsies rule!

That is one funny column!
