The Definition of a Brain Fart

Once upon a time there were three roomates. They were old geezers, and only one of them had any source of income - his Social Security check. And that guy had the absolute bad manners to up and die on his poor roomates who had no way to pay the rent or buy the groceries.

Unless they cashed their dead friend's Social Security check.

So they bundled dead Virgilio up and set him in his wheelchair and off they went to the storefront where Virgie usually cashed his Social Security check. Pushing a dead guy along a bumpy sidewalk in a wheelchair is not an easy thing to do. These two guys attracted a lot of attention from onlookers as poor Virgie flopped around like a... well, like a dead guy.

They made it to the storefront and left Virgie in his wheelchair outside on the sidewalk as they went in with the check. As they dickered with the store owner over cashing the check, a crowd began to gather around dead Virgie.

And that attracted the attention of a detective eating lunch at the nearby Empanada Mama.

Oops.

NO SLEEPING ON THE JOB!!!!!

Thai serial killer says he 'hated those who take naps at work'

Police in Thailand said Sunday they have charged a security guard with murder after he admitted beating to death eight co-workers he discovered sleeping on the job.

Wittaya Jaikhan severely injured seven others in his violent spree, which began early this year, said spokesman Colonel Piyapun Pingmuang.

"He confessed to killing the victims because he hated those who take naps at work, and he thought they were taking advantage of their employers," Piyapun told AFP.

The 30-year-old was arrested after using a mobile phone belonging to one of the victims to call his wife, the spokesman said.

"We are sure that the suspect is not mentally ill. Consequently, he will be treated as a normal killer," Piyapun said.

Wittaya could face the death penalty if convicted.

Police said the roommate noticed a tiny hole in the front of the bottle and wires protruding from an opening in the back. He called police.
