Number One Idiot of 2006
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the
poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she
caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the
ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into
the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation 
happened to
mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill
the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the
emergency room right away.

Number Two Idiot of 2006
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield
decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in
getting it out of the plane and home.
Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast
Guard helicopter coming towards them.
It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locater
beacon that activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer
employed by Boeing

Number Three Idiot of 2006
A man ,wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into a Branch and
wrote " Put all your muny in this bag."
While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began
to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police
before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and
crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in
line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and,
surmising from his spelling errors decided that he wasn't the brightest
light in the harbour, told him that
she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of
America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells 
Fargo
deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the
man said, "OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was
waiting in line back at Bank of America.

Number Four Idiot of 2006
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that; measured
his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the
mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of
payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days
later, he received a letter from the police
that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs.
He immediately mailed in his $40.

Number Five Idiot of 2006
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of
the cash from the cash drawer.
After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch
that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put
it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't
believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still
refused to give it tohim because she didn't believe him.
At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and
gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was
in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from
the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave 
the
name and address of the robber that he got off the license.
They arrested the robber two hours later.

Idiot Number Six of 2006
A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving
revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved,
the startled first bandit shot him.

Idiot Number Seven of 2006
Arkansas : Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that
he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some
booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his 
head at the
window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. It seems 
the
liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on
videotape.
