A headline I found irresistible

Guy with flower pot on head robs gas station with chainsaw

No, seriously. They even have a picture:

The story doesn’t say whether the chainsaw was actually running, and I don’t see evidence of exhaust in the picture. But the chainsaw was not the only thing he brandished:

Police allege the man then used the chainsaw to damage a window and several display racks in the shop, before exposing his buttocks to the store attendants.

Hey whatever. God forbid that anyone should stifle this man’s creativity. Obviously, he is a performance artist.

    The thought process is made clear. He has a flowerpot on his head.

    I BLAME THE REPUBLICANS! If those miserable SOB’s hadn’t cut back the National Endowment for the Arts, this poor fellow wouldn’t have been forced to find a private venue for his performance.

    And the robbery? Well that’s the GOP’s fault too. They must’ve privatized the collection of funding as well.

    He should be smart and steal money the way walmart does. put a low price on an item and then charge higher price at check out and when you catch them stealing from you insted of going to jail they tell you, you must pay the higher price and they will change the price on the item when they get around to it!

    There was a report out of England about a man trying to rob a store with a plastic lemon squeezer.

    Hey Zonetard – don’t like Wallowmart don’t shop there. What did you want – GUM? I’m sure they always charged the same price.

    The best part about Eric’s comment section is that the name is at the top so it’s easy to see which comments you can safely ignore.

    cap is only good when you’re bored and fell like making fun of a racist, ignorant, fascist, hate-filled idiot.

    Otherwise, it’s best ignored.

    Maybe he was thinking of Jerry Clower’s (southern old-school comedian for those who don’t know) story of Marcel Ledbetter and the incident at the beer joint?
