1/ Moving to Florida? Think about it! Every scam, every indecent plot against God and man has originated or been perfected in Florida. As one cop put it: Florida is “The Deadbeat Capital of the World”! Here are some weird/funny(?) stories about Floridians:

9/ - There have been a lot of weird DUIs in the history of Florida, but this one is special. Evidently, a 58-year-old man named Kenneth La Rue Smith (real name), was driving a lawn mower into oncoming traffic. He was also drinking a beer, he had two knives, and a revolver.
