Stupidity at its Finest

    Time for a story-telling moment: Woman drives stolen car to courthouse to pay a traffic ticket. Police arrest woman and the woman ends up with jail time. The moral of the story - crime doesn’t pay and never drive a stolen car to a courthouse.

Who did it?

    Forest Kelly Bissonnette, a bank robber, wrote a hold-up note on a personal check. What a way to say “arrest me!”
