Stupid Prizes

 There is this town called Mandeville on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana  Mandeville sits at the north end of the Pontchartrain causeway on the lake leading to New Orleans.

So, this dumb SOB in a stolen truck decides to hijack another car from a gas station near the north end of the causeway.  For some reason, the hijacking goes wrong and our dumb SOB gets back in the stolen truck and heads south on the causeway. But, his stolen truck runs out of gas at mile 10.

Hilarity ensues.  Our dumb SOB decides that the only rational action is to leave he causeway and jump into the lake. After being told that he can either get in the boat or drown, he decides to get in the boat.

Someone was generous in telling him to get in the boat. Why? Save the cost of trial and imprisonment, let him swim. But....That's just me being considerate.

A friend from the north shore and I were going to have lunch until this idiot caused the causeway to be shut down for hours. Evidently, he was a one man, four parish crime spree.
