TODAY WE BESTOW FOUR BONEHEAD AWARDS
We Have Seen The Future And It Is Filled With Signs All Over Like "Warning! No Walking Into Walls. They Will Not Move For You"

Bonehead award one, a “stupidest lawsuit in the world,” bonehead award goes to an Allentown, Pennsylvania, woman who is suing Montgomery County Emergency Services, Inc., a hospital where, as a patient, she overdosed on drugs that she bought from a pusher who smuggled them into the hospital for her. She’s suing the hospital because they don’t warn visitors not to bring illegal drugs into the building so, she says, her overdose is entirely the hospital’s fault, or maybe even your fault, but it’s certainly not her fault.

Someday They’ll Write A Country/Western Song About A Phantom Bus

Bonehead award two, a “government as good as it gets,” bonehead award goes Mesa, Arizona, which built two bus shelters where no buses stop as part of their new public transit “improvement project.”

And a bonehead award goes to those people who are seen at the shelters, daily, waiting for the buses even though the city has posted signs at the shelter telling people that no buses stop at the shelters.

It seems some people do get the government that’s right for them.

He Thought They Would Just Die Laughing

Bonehead award three goes to a Swiss air traffic controller who almost got a French helicopter shot down when, as a stupid joke, he labeled the helicopter, after it entered restricted air space, “al-Qaeda” on the radar screen.

The French Mirage pilots were only moments away from shooting it down when they realized it was a French transportation helicopter and pulled back.

Analyze This! Analyze That!
“While he points to the camera, he proudly says, ‘Stolen video camera,’ then points at his shoes and says, ‘Stolen shoes!’ The director then says, ‘Shut up, dude. You never know who might see this! Cut!”

Comment made by a California sheriff’s deputy describing the contents of a videotape recording that was found during a search of a suspect’s home where stolen goods were believed to be stored.

It was a great production. Both the videotape and the actors are now in the can.
