As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, “Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."

Powerful stupid.

“He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.” What a classic line. You can’t make this stuff up.

Stupid, but not real Darwin Award material, disqualified because they all lived on afterwards.

They all lived, except perhaps the robber who looked down his revolver barrel and pulled the trigger to check function.

The story about siphoning from the motor home sewer tank has been around since before I was a kid. I hope the rest of the stories came from more reliable sources.

when nobody in the story dies, it’s not Darwin eligible.

“Remember.... They walk among us … They can reproduce”

In that case they are not even a nominee for a Darwin award.

Seems an Arkansas 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 and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.

It was a Two-fer...

Reality is so weird it could never be believed as fiction.

“A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.

This has been the case as long as I can remember. If you shovel out a spot in Chicago, you own it. Trespassers beware. Shooting her seems slightly extreme though.

“when nobody in the story dies, it’s not Darwin eligible.”

Could a party die? I think a Darwin Award should go to the Democrats for trying to tie Trump to sexual misconduct and that backfired big time.

Darwin award winners die. Most of these don’t quality.
