FIRST PRIZE: There is a scam going around where people pretend to take selfies but are actually taking YOUR picture and advertising you to rape gangs! — Ernie Brandon, Cornell CA
SECOND PLACE: Have you seen those Scouts selling popcorn at the mall? — Jon Marler, Pflugerville, TX
THIRD PLACE: Pay attention—my delusion story could save your life! — James Shields
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
I think the decorative feathers being sold at Joann's Fabrics are from an illegal cockfighting ring in the basement! — Adriana Gerard, Philadelphia
WARNING! Last night while driving home from the grocery store, I pulled up to a red light. A police cruiser pulled up next to me and as I looked over, I accidentally made eye contact with the "officer" in the car. The light turned green and as I drove on, I noticed the cruiser had gotten behind me and proceeded to follow me all the way to the entrance of my neighborhood. He sped on passed me as I turned in, but later that night I noticed another police car cruising through my neighborhood.
DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH FAKE POLICEMEN BECAUSE IT IS A SIGNAL TO THEM THAT YOU CAN BE KIDNAPPED AND SOLD INTO THE SEX TRADE.
PLEASE SHARE AND LET'S PUT A STOP TO THIS MENACE — Curt Dumal, Ocean Springs, MS
Don't stop, don't slow down! Child carjackers are now using errant basketballs to trap motorists, and the police said I got very lucky yesterday… — Dan McKee, Tallahassee, FL
Your pediatrician may give your child cancer. —Andy Walker, Nashville, TN
DO YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS BREATHING YOUR AIR? — Michele Ann Jenkins, Montreal, PC
Today was a giant eye opener for me—again! — Joel Kimball
And a few more from Ernie Brandon, Cornell, CA:
Bank employees use ATM videos and card information to find rape targets!
I knew that pedophile in front of my daughter's school wasn't really just some waiting dad because he wore a black hoodie and kept checking his iPhone!
DO NOT leave dogs unattended in cars even on cool days because homeless people will steal and eat them.
