TGIF. No, Really.

TGIF

If you think you’ve had a bad week, just remember – it could have been worse. Check out what happened to these guys (and gals)… 

In Middlesex Township, Pennsylvania, Luis Felipe Menendez Marroquin, 28, was spotted by, and ultimately arrested for, speeding in a 55 mph zone on I-81 here… So how fast was he going? Well, he didn’t (quite) double the speed limit… 

Ever found yourself in competition for a parking space? Well, in Los Angeles, California one recent Monday, a couple of unnamed drivers found themselves locked in a passive-aggressive who’s-going-to-blink-first showdown over a parking space… and neither would budge for… well, you aren’t going to believe this… and yes, we have video

In Urumqi, China, a father, known (to the media) only as Xia, 30, was boarding a plane with his newborn daughter… and took it upon himself to undertake a gesture that he thought would bring their flight good luck… It didn’t… 

Near Jackson, Mississippi, Beau Alan Rogel, 36, a self-proclaimed YouTube celebrity (he’s got 9,500 subscribers), who claims to use “100% of revenue earned on YouTube for cool, irresponsible, childishly cool sh**" recently chose to drive his 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 past traffic… as he calls out speeds… ultimately over 185 mph… while live streaming on YouTube… Gee, you think police have access to the Internet?  

In North Huntington, Pennsylvania, Gary W. Cawley, 40, had stolen a stove from the Tuscan Hills Housing Plan here… He’d gotten it into the bed of his pickup… and was making his escape… when the unexpected happened… and yes, we have video… 

And finally, in Rogers, Arkansas, Charles Eugene Ferris, 50, was on his back deck “having a few” with his neighbor, Christopher Hicks, 36, one recent Sunday… At some point, Charles, who (for reasons unexplained) was wearing a bulletproof vest… encouraged Christopher to… well, shoot him (with the vest on, of course)… Well, Christopher, (apparently) being an amiable fellow, proceeded to do just that… Well, Darwin notwithstanding, Charles survived the encounter with little more than a red mark on his chest… at which point, he took the vest off, and Christopher (for reasons unexplained), decided to put the vest on… at which point Charles, who was apparently so upset (he used another word) about getting shot… and how much it hurt (yes, he did encourage the action)… that he saw fit to… 

Have a great weekend, folks! Looking forward to seeing many of you at the NAPA 401(k) Summit next week – come by and say “hi!”
