Not The Sharpest Tool In The Shed...

I know that we in the south get accused occasionally of not being the sharpest tools in the shed. I will even go so far as to say in some cases they are right in that assessment. And here's the poster child proving this fact.

A 23 year old Georgia man and his 18 year old female friend decide they are going to break into the house of local resident who had been out of town for a few days. They took some jewelry, cell phone, checkbook and some credit cards. Sounds pretty run of the mill right? Ok here's where he lost some IQ points. He calls his mom from the residence when he's ready to leave to...Get this...To ask her to come pick him up. I would love to know how that conversation went.."Hey Mom yea its me...Hey we just robbed this place and its late and we really could use a ride home..How bout it"?

When the resident who owned the house returned home on Sunday.. And realized shed been robbed, I guess for what ever reason picked up the phone hit the redial button calling the felons mommy. Who explained who she was and that her son had indeed called from that phone when he needed a ride home. The mother said she refused to pick them up. (good going mom) The young felons not getting the ride, spent the night in a motel. When they checked out the next morning the police were waiting for them. They apparently still had all the stolen merchandise in their possession. They were both charged, they both claimed innocents and then promptly pointed the finger at each other...Damn you just cant depend on anyone anymore can you?

To the Georgia boy: here's some advise sport..When you get that one phone call, don't call mom. Apparently she wont come pick you up.
