Garfield Man to Face Trial in Parking Meter Thefts (Cool Hand Luke Returns)
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | 1/04/04 | unknown

A Garfield man accused of stealing parking meters last year was held for trial yesterday after a preliminary hearing in Municipal Court.

Wade Harris will stand trial on two counts each of theft, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief.

At least 400 meters were stolen last year from numerous neighborhoods around the city.

Burglary detectives arrested Harris, 39, last month for stealing parking meters from around the city, breaking them open to get the money, and selling the poles as scrap.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate."

Wonder how many hard-boiled eggs this guy can eat.

"Lucille...oh, my Lucille..."

Oh yes, Lucille!

I think George Kennedy won a Supporting Actor Academy Award for his part in that movie. He was great.

I must admit I enjoyed the car washing scene...... ;-)

Got to be precise with those quotes, beyond. Luke says:

"Shaking it here, Boss!"

And the inimitable Strother Martin as the Warden says precisely this:

"What we have here is...failure...to communicate."

A great movie.

How'd you like Strother in "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid"?

******

Paul Newman (Butch): I think they're in the trees up ahead.

Robert Redford (Sundance): In the bushes on the left.

Paul Newman (Butch): I'm telling you they're in the trees up ahead.

Robert Redford (Sundance): You take the trees, I'll take the bushes.

Strother Martin (Percy Garris): Will you two beginners cut it out!

Paul Newman (Butch): Well, we're just trying to spot an ambush, Mr. Garris.

Strother Martin (Percy): Morons. I've got morons on my team. Nobody is going to rob us going down the mountain. We have got no money going down the mountain. When we have got the money, on the way back, then you can sweat.

ROFL!!!!
