What's your closest tie to idiocy?

[Tink]

SO often we hear about people doing totally stupid things that a reasonable, rational person would never even consider. They end up on the news, and we all just shake our heads and laugh it off or we thank our lucky stars they aren't OUR relative. Well, sad as it is, they're all someone's relative or neighbor, or co-worker.

So what's your closest brush with idiocy? Who do you know that did something just so stupid that you were left in awe of them?

Ours is:
My husbands sisters husbands brother has to get the award here. He and a couple friends went drinking one night and one had to urinate, but they were out in the boonies, so there were no rest rooms around. He decided to just get out and do it along the road. His friends stayed in the pick up to wait for him. While they were waiting, the pick up rolled backwards and ran their peeing friend over, killing him.

Not knowing what to do, they loaded hm into the truck between them and took off for town. On the way, they decided they were gonna get in trouble for being so drunk and so wanted more time to decide what to do. So they headed to McDonalds, drove through the drive-through with him propped up between them, and ate their meals while trying to decide how to get out of the mess they were in.

They both ended up in jail for a variety of charges, including but not limited to abuse of a corpse.

This story actually hit the National Enquirer... so you KNOW it's ridiculous! Sadly, it is true.
