Topic: Stupidity
It has widely been debated why the Irish have the reputation for being drunken louts who do nothing but drink, fight and steal shit. This story out of Dublin does not help make matters towards the contrary and more promising.
Two genius criminals stole a fishing trawler and proceeded to set off to catch up to the ferry they had missed, forgetting one major problem: neither knew how to sail. Many hours later, the two called who they thought were the Ireland Coast Guard, but who turned out to be British Authorities. As it happens, the two had sailed miles out to sea going in circles and had wound up along the British coastline.
British Coast Guard, geniuses that they are, took the men into custody after rescuing them off of the boat, not realizing that they had severely damaged the boat. They were soon rearrested. No word on how much alcohol they had imbibed that evening, but we're estimating at least eight pints a piece.
