A Florida Man tried to play "possum" by pretending to be asleep after cops caught him driving drunk. It didn't work. Imgaine how convenient it would be to celebrate all 4 of your kids' birthdays all in one day. Easy to do if you had quadruplets. But what if all 4 were born in different years? One Penn State Grad showed off what he learned in college by getting drunk at a Florida bar and then peeing off a rooftop on to the customers...

By now if you are unaware of the couple caught like a deer in the headlights on a Coldplay concert "Kiss Cam", you're living under a rock. Well, my Insane FL Nephew Pancho Guero saw it and told me about it! So we have a lot of fun with it this week. Another lover caught in a tight squeeze happened in West Virginia and this one didn't have a kiss cam. It involved brass knuckles. In our "love gone wrong" theme this week, we also enco...

Pittsburghers were able to strike up some action without the cumbersome clothing for an afternoon of nekkid bowling. A toddler was able to strike it big on his parent's Amazon credit card when he ordered $3K in goodies. A mom struck a nerve when she shared the photo of her 23-pound bouncing baby boy on the Internet.

When an average Joe suddently dies in a paranormal mystery, not much is made of it. But when a paranormal investigator who is in Gettysburg, PA with Annabelle the doll turns up dead, you might want to look into that. What do you do if you find a lost teddy bear lying on a sidewalk in a shopping area? Would you freak out if you saw it looked like it was made from human skin. Well, somebody did. Somebody also left their phone when th...

A Florida Man got the award for the first person arrested for a new "super speeder" law that was in effect a mere TWO MINUTES. An Italian mechanic is shooting for a world record for his Fiat that is barely wide enough for one person to sit in. It was a birthday to remember for one Florida Man on meth who hijacked a train & picked up passengers around Key West.

We've already talked about how guys AND gals are getting Brazilian Butt Lifts, but have we told you how you SMELL when you get one? The scanners at the airport can't smell, but they can detect "swamp crotch" that that will get you patted down by the TSA. All of this may sound depressing so we have a solution for that..."Just Beat It!".

You know the heat is getting to New Yorkers when they're selling ice that's more expensive than the drink! Airline passengers were held hostage while one man spewed bodily fluids out of both ends during a flight. Talk about a "psycho girlfriend"...one poor guy was set ablaze at a gas station when his gal torched him at a gas station and then drove off!

Men are now trying to have a Kardasian butt when they go to the gym. A mom would do anything to show her pride for her graduating son--including getting pole dancers to perform across the school gate. The Pride of the USA was on full display when Chris Robinson had a very defined and a very live wardrobe malfunction while running for a 1st place prize.

When does a "knock-knock" joke cause a stampede? When you have someone stupid barge onto a stage in a school tournament with a backpack. When does a marraige proposal get stupid? When a man with a girlfriend & kids asks his A.I. Chatbot to marry him. When does the reading of a will get stupid? When the family finds out their grandma had a male escort & she left him all her inheritance.

If you have to face the judge, it's best to find a wardrobe that does not present you as the "World's Best Farter". ICE protests got one guy a rubber bullet to his manhood & he wound up in the hospital with some deflated balls. Some Canadian school children got to be in "Lolita's Line" as they boarded a school bus driven by a man in a pink school girl uniform with white stockings and platform shoes.

Some people will go to new levels of stupidity to get that perfect selfie. Even if it means getting locked in a jail cell...by accident. A town in PA has found a catchy way for people to remember how to get their holes filled. Men have found a side effect from a diet drug that does not make their manhood thinner. And my Insane FL Nephew, "Pancho Guero" found a real "bonus" for your anus if you love chocolate buttholes.

If you thought water was tasteless, think again. Apparently rich people have better taste in ways you've never expected. I know those crazy cicadas are big, but I didn't think they were big enough to cause a car crash. But if we're talking "big" nothing's bigger than what Google Maps caught from space that was carved into a baseball field.

You may have heard of "breaking wind", but stealing it? The Belgians have found themselves in a little "Dutch"... If you're remodeling your home in Memphis, TN you'd better secure your bathroom. Some bold theives rode off with a vanity on their BIKES. A Dutch museum is educating patrons on 17th century sex with a display of a condom made from a sheep's appendix.

David danced naked before the Lord in the Old Testament in the Bible, but I don't think the Britih Airways crew member was getting religious in the World Club cabin toilet. It's pretty common to see a traffic jam on I-24 in Central TN but not caused by a zebra on the loose running down the interstate. If you're planning on driving to or through the state of Idaho, you'd better cover your nuts...and your breasts...

Imaging hearing a crash at 5am in your house & you are expecting to find a burglar. Instead, you see is a bear on your stove & a hole in your ceiling. It was a reality for a Kentucky homeowner. Imagine having a Teams meeting with your co-workers working from home when one stands up without realizing he's not wearing pants--OR underwear. And imagine suffering with a sinus infection for 7 years...caused by your ex-boyfriend, ...

If you've had enough of your mother, just stick a fork in her. One woman tried...and failed. A bratty little pipsquek called a woman a "fat Miss Piggy" and got his head shoved into the window of an airline. The fat "Miss Piggy" got an FBI investigation. If you want to reverse aging, just start emplementing "water-based cooking"...a.k.a. "boiling".

If you ordered a fancy $640 Trump watch, you would expect it to have been made with spellcheck. A shopping trip to a Lowe's hardware store resulted in a discovery inside a storage shed that was not expected...which included a naked man & Vasoline. A beloved score bug seen on TV for years when 2 rival baseball teams played is being put to rest in a solumn salute.

How do you wean a 3-y/o from breast feeding? Let 'em eat cake! But does it have to be a "Boob Cake"? It's a big enough shock to come home to find a naked man in your bed & your house ransacked, but then you find a softball-size wad of gum that he left on your dining room table. It's not the "Plop-plop, fizz-fizz" that's blowing up birds in CA, but it does have police & the public stumped. "Pancho Guero", my Insane FL Nephew...

The best stupidity is naked stupidty & it's not just limited to airports. A Kentucky 7-y/o loves suckers but it was his mom who was the real sucker. If there's going to be an assault with food, it's probably going to happen in FL. And now, nachos have been declared a weapon between two lesbians who got into a fight over food.
