So today I was watching the news during my lunch break and I happened to catch one of the best stories of the year. Normally when I watch the news it is very depressing to see how many criminals are out there and the messed up stuff they do. Every once in a while those messed up people will surprise you with a funny story even though it may not be that funny.
So the big news story for the afternoon today in Charlotte was that some man had something stolen from him. The item that was stolen from him was a NASCAR Championship ring. This nearly brought me to tears because I was laughing so hard. Now, I will be the first to say that yes I did jump to conclusions and I also stopped listening to the rest of the news story.
Here's what I think, first of all how does the guy know he didn't just lose it???? Well, odds are if someone broke into this guys "House" aka trailer, there must not have been too many valuables around. I mean who breaks into someones house and only steals a ring...maybe if it was a ring that was really valuable say maybe a princess or queen had I could understand. But someone broke into a house (trailer) and stole a ring. Here is what I think happened. Some guy decided to break into some other guys trailer home...(big mistake first of all, you'll either get shot or won't find anything)...after ransaking all of the Budweiser from the fridge he looked around to see if he could find some valuables. After not finding any authentic NASCAR gear in the closet he looked towards the dresser and saw the most beautiful ring he had ever seen. He took the ring and got away.
Now the news reports this story but they leave out some details...they leave out the trailer and call it a house, they don't interview anyone because the mullets would give it away, and they don't repeat anything the owner says because he drank too much Bud the night before to remember where he actually put the ring.
Anyhow, that is about it, I just got a kick out of that being the top story of the afternoon.
