Drunk, drop keys, try to retrieve them.
Happens a lot; sometimes the person isn’t drunk.

No tying a kid to a tree is completely ok cause they said their mama did it before and they turned out ok. Still in shock people are ok treating their kids like dogs!

Amoebic Dysentery, Ascaris(giant roundworm), Giardiasis, Cryptosporidiosis and infectious Hepititis anybody? Go lay in run off around here and these are some of the things you might come down with! Stay out of storm drains please. These are just few types of internal parasites, There are virus and bacteria also, A long list of them.

They ran out of room down at the jail. This is the new low budget way of dealing with the ones that won’t fit through the revolving door.

Sewer pipes are like vaginas- you squeeze into them and they provide security. This crazy fricking idiot was a vagina addict. How far did he travel in the “fallopian tubes” sewer system before reaching the “grate of life”?

It’s sad and extremely disappointing that anyone would think it’s okay to joke about that poor child that was tied to a tree in 100 degree weather with no food water or clothes. How do you think something like that is funny?
