      According to police, marina employees put up a sign forbidding swimming after recently spotting a “pretty damn big” 11-foot alligator in the water. ...
      Mind you, he can't have been that dumb, as he had come up with a brilliant way of ensuring he would never lose his keys ..

            For dear old Freako this relates to some lune who strapped the usual helium balloons to a lawn chair.

            This one, however, was a skydiver & had a parachute.

                      For "lovable rogue" the translation is complete scrote who was happy to cause criminal damage, trespass and endanger other people. The gene pool is better off.
