Twilight Zone:Presented For Your Consideration

We do have to wonder sometimes in what universe some of our fellow men reside.

There's that guy down at the end of the bar who's always explaining that "they" had invented a carburetor (those of you under the age of 40, please consult with your parents regarding this device) that permitted a car to get 200 miles per gallon, running on water! Of course "they" (presumably some other "they") couldn't let that happen, so "they" [killed][bribed][bought out][had confined to a mental hospital][drugged] "them."

Today's story comes from that parallel universe where anyone believes this guy's story for more than 20 seconds. A television station in central Florida reports:

Sheriff's deputies in Lake County, Fla., were searching late Wednesday for a woman who fell overboard from a boat, police told Local 6 News.

The woman and her husband were boating on Lake Eustis when, the man said, she fell into the water at about 8:30 p.m.

The man said he thinks he hit his wife with the boat after she fell overboard, according to the report.

You have to admire the fellow for anticipating that, when the body is recovered, police might ask him how it is that his wife looks like someone had beat the Hell out of her, when he says she just fell overboard.

Good move, moron.
