Left lane road hogs are a safety hazard on the roads



This is a huge issue when driving on Route 140 in Carroll County. The folks that hog-up the left lane are either oblivious or self-important idiots.

If there is someone behind you – or better yet, if there is a long line of cars following you; and no one in front of you. Then you are a safety problem. Get out of the left lane.

Stay in the right lane unless you are going to pass or you are about to make a left-hand turn… If you do not understand this, then get off the road. You are danger to yourselves and everyone else on the road.

Left lane road hogs are a safety hazard on the roads…

2008 Idiots of the Year

Idiots of the Year

January 9, 2009

Hat Tip: Grammy

I received this in an e-mail. I did not verify any of them. Sadly, I laughed at each of the stories…

I certainly hope that all the following are not true. However, after working with the public for four decades, I can easily believe each and every one of the following accounts:

Number One Idiot of 2008

I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter in to the emergency room right away.

Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.



Number Two Idiot of 2008

Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming toward them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locater beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.

They are no longer employed at Boeing.

Here's your sign guys. Don't get it wet; the paint might run.



Number Three Idiot of 2008

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and wrote this, "Put all your money in this bag." While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.

Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Number Four Idiot of 2008

A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that; measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs.. He immediately mailed in his $40.

Wise guy........

But you still get a sign



Number Five Idiot of 2008

A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk.

The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license.

They arrested the robber two hours later.

This guy definitely needs a sign.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Idiot Number Six of 2008

A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers.The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

This guy doesn't even deserve a sign.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Idiot Number Seven of 2008

Arkansas : Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass.

The whole event was caught on videotape.

Yep, here's your sign.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Idiot Number Eight of 2008

We live in a semi-rural area, ( Weyauwega , Wisconsin ), and we recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! - I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

STAY ALERT! They walk among us, and they REPRODUCE!

Carroll County Sheriff’s Department: “Hampstead burglar confronted by resident; arrested”



Carroll County Sheriff’s Department: “Hampstead burglar confronted by resident; arrested”


Hampstead, Carroll County, Maryland, August 4, 2008 ---- Anthony Scott Busick aged 19 of Hampstead was arrested this afternoon by Sheriff’s Deputies for burglarizing a home on Upper Becklysville Road just outside the Town of Hampstead. At approximately 11:00 am, Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a report from a resident at the home, who was awakened by loud “banging”. As the resident left his room to investigate, he encountered Busick, who apparently became frightened and fled the residence on foot.

During their investigation, sheriff’s deputies discovered that Busick had disabled the telephone line on the exterior of the home, before “kick[ing] open” the rear door. A witness identified Busick, who was located and arrested without incident at his home in Hampstead. Consequently, Busick was charged with several Criminal Law violations, including:

· First Degree Burglary
· Third Degree Burglary
· Fourth Degree Burglary
· Malicious Destruction of Property

Busick is currently being held at the Carroll County Detention Center while awaiting a bail review hearing before the District Court Commissioner.
