Man Found In Stolen Ambulance With Dead Deer

[Gabi Hayes]

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Sept. 29) - A man reported missing from a Florida hospital was found in North Carolina dressed like a doctor and driving a stolen ambulance with a dead deer wedged in the back, authorities said.

Leon Holliman Jr., 37, was reported missing from a River Region Human Services facility in Jacksonville last month.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol found him driving the ambulance with the deer on Sunday.

"I don't know how the man got it up in there," said Sgt. Robert Pearson. "It was a six point buck."

according to the radio, the deer had an oxygen mask on, and had an IV bottle attached

[Gabi Hayes]

3. you should have heard the radio conversation....they were

gasping for breath

[lcordero2]

4. i've seen ppl hyperventilate like that

[Dude_CalmDown]

8. Where can I get the radio conversation?

I was going to send this story to my family because of the line:

The deer had an oxygen mask on, and had an IV bottle attached

But it's not on either link.

[Gabi Hayes]

14. they were reading from one of the stories online

I saw a mention of it in a link I posted, I think

it was a show out of Chicago, and somebody called it in; their producer pulled it up off the web, and they started talking about it

I looked it up, myself, as I have nothing better to do

[Dude_CalmDown]

19. Thanks, I found it in one of your links.

20. now discussing actual Nobel Laureates serenading the

Ig Nobel Prize winner for inventing Karaoke

the Ig Nobel Prizes take place every year at Harvard, with real Nobel Prize winners presenting prizes for things like the previous two, as well as for studies on the impact of country music on suicides, the five second rule (if you pick food up off the floor within five seconds, it's OK to eat), and other junk

[Gabi Hayes]

22. the five second rule study (actual scientific study) reveals that

"women habitually eat food from the floor more often than men"

[cynatnite]

5. Well, at least he tried to save the deer...

:rofl:

Gotta love the insanity of humanity at times.

[Gabi Hayes]

6. now I feel sad about this....pictures at link here

ATTENTION EVERYWHERE OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA: STOP SENDING US YOUR WACKJOBS!!!!
Come ON! I knew when I saw this story, without reading ONE word ohter than the headline, that it HAD to have a Florida connection. Why does my state have to be Planet Earth's Outdoor Insane Assylum?! WHY?!?!?

Lu Cifer, and our gov'r is still a cockfarmer, feel free to email Jeb!® BUSHitler & tell him what a weenie he STILL is: [e-mail]

[petronius]

11. That was my first thought, too

As soon as I saw the headline I thought "Hmmm, what's going on in Florida this time?" Sorry, but you are definitely plagued with freaks...

[LuCifer]

32. And people ask me...

...so, you live out in BFE!? You live out in the woods where there's like NO ONE AROUND?!?? Yes, that's EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!

9. well, I guess we found Matcom

10. This is one of those local news stories that read like poetry.

"according to the radio, the deer had an oxygen mask on, and had an IV bottle attached."

The poetry is amazing, this psychiatric patient becomes a fugitive from the world of confinement,order and regulation... and in this journey northward (add underground railroad metaphor) and in this flight to freedom, his beautifully childlike naked soul played Good Samaritan and attempted to administer aid to this fellow casualty on the highway of life.

[cynatnite]

12. I love the story...

The heart in this man is amazing and beautiful. I hope he never loses that.

13. Like, dig it, fred! what's your take on these?

16. okay, first of all, two of these are especially funny.

obvious irony here...
Some Students Embarrassed By Dress Code T-Shirts

This one has a bit of dark humor.
Childless Woman Ticketed For Sitting At Playground


without reading the story, just by what you imagine from the headline... you imagine this woman forlorn that she is barren, not able to have children... and then, to kick her while she is down... she is ticketed for being somewhere where only "mothers" can be.

18. those motherf******s!

15. Kind of combines one of the scariest scenes from Silence of the Lambs with

one of the funniest scenes from Tommy Boy.

[Gabi Hayes]

17. from the same radio show: the Ig Nobel Prize

for stuff like this: the Combover Patent

http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:lLzJp7cX85YJ:www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science/10/01/ignobels.ap/+combover+patent&hl=en

''The combover patent -- complete with instructional diagrams -- was meant to allow Frank to bill himself as the father of the hairstyle and better sell a spray he developed to hold it in place, his son said. They never got around to producing the spray, but they did receive an Ig Nobel.''
