STUPID CRIMINAL ALERT! (definitely *HIC* FILES fodder)

"He doesn't appear to be a hard-core criminal, just stupid."

Tip. Going on the lam after a sucessful bank robbery does not generally include getting busted 2 hours later pissed drunk at a liquor store.

Question. What happens when you break into a glue factory to get the ultimate high, knock over a vat of contact cement, and then get stuck to the floor? This:
"I seen visions of Jesus and the devil and a space alien with a big head...I also seen the King of rock 'n' roll -- what's his name? Elvis? And somebody else I can't remember... it might have been Michael Jackson or that other singer, Kurt Cobain."
*Sigh* German burglar downs half a bottle of expensive whisky then crawls into bed with sleeping home owners.
