There are so many crazies they don't have room for them:

Scroll down to "suspicious incident" where you will find that:

That sounds like the beginning of either a really bad joke or a really good one.

Re We need a sub-forum: Stupid Stories about Stupid People in Florida

Couple charged with cruelty to neighbor's cat appears in court today

Quote:
A couple charged with misdemeanor theft and animal cruelty after allegedly driving a neighbor's cat 15 miles west into the Everglades appears in court this morning...

Prosecutors say Fort Lauderdale firefighter Christopher Cortes and his girlfriend, Iris Zukerman, tried to banish Mr. Kibbles, their neighbors' cat, because the cat was using his pickup truck flatbed as a litter box.

Re We need a sub-forum: Stupid Stories about Stupid People in Florida

Now wait a second here. I think Mr. Cortes and Ms. Zukerman were trying to HELP. First, their neighbor didn't want to provide decent sanitary services for the cat. SECONDLY, they were trying to assist with the ongoing alligator problem by providing them an apparently unwanted cat as a snack.

Forward thinkers, these two! That shows more brains than the usual Florida story. Take the wack job with the armadillo, for instance.
