It has always baffled me that these crazy stories come from Florida and Texas. Shootings and murders seem to be prevalent in blue states and blue cities, but crazy and weird seem to come from those two red states.
This gets an “A”. One aspect of a good Florida Man story is that there is sometimes a hint of a sympathetic quality combined with the quirkiness.
Tube socks, briefs and a Little Caesar’s apron satisfies the quirkiness.
But when the door was open, and all that Little Caesar’s had was open to him, what did he do? Did he trash the place? Did he decides to tear open pepperoni and sausage containers and make a protein breakfast? No. He was satisfied with two bottles of water (It is Florida in summer) and a brownie. If it weren’t for the damage to the ceiling I’d have been tempted to give him a mulligan.
It was already a solid Florida Man story , and then he answered the phone. Perfect.
Only in Florida would someone have a gator at the ready in their car to heave through a drive in window.
Texas is just huge so many people.
Florida has transplants galore.
...nobody wants to see him in his boxers, a real Florida hanging Chad.
Either a bad writer, sloppy proofreading, or rogue spell checker, but”petit” theft?
I’ve been down here (nearby in Penscola) since last November, but the FL Man stories I’ve seen tend to be predominately from Pinellas County (north of Tampa).
As I understand it, “petit (small) theft” is the actual term. Lots of people think it’s “petty theft.” It’s pronounced like that, and until I served on a jury, that’s how I thought it was spelled. The criminal in question was being charged with a count of grand theft auto for stealing a car and a count of petit theft for stealing a license plate to put on the car that he stole.
I tend to disagree - I thought the writer was very clever and very funny. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article.
Spot on. Florida Man is a likable character which is why whoever produces a well written Florida Man movie will have a blockbuster hit on their hands.
Hey did you see that Utah player puking up a storm during the game?
I didn’t see the game but glad we won.
Was he puking from getting blasted?
Couldn’t handle the humidity, I guess.
Really? Poontang...
