Doofus Of The Day #17, #18 and #19


We have a rich crop of Doofi this week, that's for sure!

Doofus #17 is 19-year-old Joseph Manzanares of Commerce City, CO, and Doofus #18 is his unnamed girlfriend. They have a four-year-old son (which means young Joseph - and probably his girlfriend too - should have been locked up for a sexual offense, conceiving a child at that age!).

Their son poses a problem for them. Joseph belongs to the Westside Ballers, a Hispanic gang. His girlfriend, who is Black, belongs to the Crips. It seems they couldn't agree on which gang would "inherit" their son. Matters came to a head when Joseph invaded the video store where his girlfriend worked, threatened to kill her and knocked over several fixtures and displays. Police arrested him, and he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.

Sheesh! All I can say is, God help that poor child! When you have two gang-banger parents and they spend their time fighting over the brand of gang-bangerdom you're to wear, your prospects for growing up with any sort of balanced, rational development seem rather slim!

On the other hand, at least the boy has some prospect of actually growing up. Doofus #19 would appear to be a bit short in that department - not to mention his family! An unnamed farmer in Puieni village, Giurgiu county, Romania, was spotted using a live 122mm. unguided rocket (complete with high-explosive warhead) as - wait for it - an anvil! He was sharpening hoes and scythes with its aid. Local firefighters identified the missile as a probable leftover from World War II, and it was removed and detonated by explosives experts.

Hmmm . . . what a choice for a kid! To be raised by gormless gangbanger parents, or a feckless father who uses an unexploded missile for an anvil? Which to pick???

I'd read about the gang-banger parents, but the Italian farmer?! Stooooopid.
He certainly is a future Darwin Awards candidate.

This is wild. The gang bangers need to be spayed and neutered.
The farmer needs a brain transpalnt.

Whoops! Re-read the post...Romanian, not Italian...should have had my coffee before reading/commenting.

While young lovers they might be, Romeo and Juliet they ain't.
