Dumb Yankees - the "north of the mason dixon line kind"
Edited on Thu Dec-29-05 11:22 AM by kick-ass-bob
Lowell, Massachusetts Police asked a 21 year-old motorist if he would like to take anything from his car before they took him to the station to be booked on motor vehicle charges.

Police say he pulled a one-pound bag of marijuana out of the trunk.

The man now faces charges of possession of the drug, with intent to distribute.

Eleven days before the statute of limitations was to expire on the Brink's robbery in Boston, Massachusetts, that netted nearly $3 million in January 1950, one of the robbers confessed and betrayed his fellow robbers.

---

Massachusetts: A bunch of young punks decided they'd rob the McDonald's in Bedford a few years ago. Unfortunately for them, none of them could keep their mouths shut about the plan, and when they showed up to rob the place they were greeted by half a dozen cops -- behind the counter, in McDonald's uniforms.

Lots of guys like to stop for a beer after finishing a job. But getting brew after a bank job isn’t such a good idea.

Police in Taunton, Massachusetts, say a bank robbery suspect had a brewski just two blocks away from the scene of the crime.

Detective Dennis Smith says the beer “did him in.”

The bar manager at an American Legion post told police that suspect Joaquim Grace was a regular customer. Witnesses said Grace ran into the American Legion had a quick beer and hailed a cab.

He was busted at his home, where detectives say they found some of the stolen loot.

Boston, Massachusetts
An "Einstein protege" had been casing a Boston bank for several days, waiting for just the right moment to commit robbery. He went through the customer line, and approached the teller's window, he produced a handgun and announced in a very loudly "THIS IS A HOLDUP, NOBODY MOVE!" Much to his dismay, the next five customers were armed FBI agents on their lunch breaks, attempting to cash their checks. The man quickly surrendered with no shots fired. His "genius" casing job had failed to notice the FBI Field Office two doors down.

---

In Boston, Massachusetts, two people are not allowed to kiss in front of a church and in Hartford, Connecticut it's illegal for a husband to kiss his wife on Sundays.


---

Just to make sure Matcom remembers where the true dumbasses come from:
George W. Bush:
Place of birth: New Haven, Connecticut
College: Yale University, Bachelor of Arts degree in history
Graduate School: Harvard University, Masters of Business Administration

Don't fuck with me, buddy.
:grr:

"Massage parlors have been banned." I guess they'll have to change the name of the town.

21. On the other hand...
...my favorite interstate highway sign in North Carolina reads, "Exit at designated points only." Really? I was just going to go flying off the road into the woods, but hey, if you insist, I will wait for an off-ramp.

This wasn't some through-the-town kind of highway, it was an interstate with actual woods (not open space) surrounding it.
