What brand of beer was it??? surely that's an important detail.

[Siouxie]

oh and FIRST!!!

[her royal cuteness, baroness crossgirl of boogaria]

i've been known to succumb to the magical lure of beer myself.

[Siouxie]

hat trick!

[her royal cuteness, baroness crossgirl of boogaria]

wonders of beer lures work well for bass.

[jazzzz]

I got nothin'

[Siouxie]

foiled!!

[Clean Hands]

No kidding! It was probably a PBR, and the perp was irritated at the thought of spending his first morning in jail hung over.

pictures can of pbr dangling from fishing pole in front of stupid criminals.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

I've heard of similar beer rescues. Apparently it's more effective than the S.I.N.G. strategy.

(Solarplexis-Instep-Knee(which I know is a "K", but still it's known as S.I.N.G. according to Sondra Bullock in that movie)-Groin.)

[KOW]

I think the key quote there is: (of course it's Florida, did you need to ask?)

Your reputation has travelled as far as the UK. Bravo! You must all be proud.

[wickedwitch]

if you really want to lure them in, add a bag of pork rinds too the PBR. works everytime.

[Clean Hands]

No, hrcbcgob, but it works wonders on slugs. Now THERE'S a use for PBR that I can approve of.

[Edgar, Benevolent Ruler of Greenbergland]

Tis said no man can refuse a beer and live.

[From another world]

I keep thinking - Homer Simpson. ummmm beer.

[Baron VonKlyff]

Pork rinds and Beer. Now that is a combination I would fall for, and I am not even a criminal.

[insomniac]

homer no function beer well without...

[Baron VonKlyff]

Speaking of The Inimitable Mr. Simpson, do you supposed he said D'Oh when he read this?

[Hammond Rye]

Mother to daughter in tree stand: "You see how I've carefully left the beer and the pork rinds open on top of the recliner? It gets 'em every time."
"But, Mommy, it doesn't seem fair."
"I know, dear, but if you don't thin out the herd, they'll be peeing in the garden and eventually sleeping on the couch. It's for the best."

*Rustle* *Rustle* *Belch*

"Ooh, Mommy, here comes one now!"

[blurk]

wickedwitch, I cannot believe you said that!!! Back in my younger days we used to sit on the porch in WV, eat cracklin' (REAL pork rinds) and drink Wild Turkey and PBR.

I'm so ashamed.

[Meanie the Blue]

Great Taste! Less Filling! Attracts Thieves!

*Burp*

Please trap criminals responsibly

[Kibby F5™]

What's not reported is that the officers cited the driver with an "Open Container" violation too!

[Kathybear]

And you're laughing at NJ?

[MOTW]

The suspects where successfully sudsed
Foolish guys lured by their tastebuds
When he realized the trap
He felt like a sap
And the judge gave them new prison duds

[MOTW]

where = were

[Dr Acula]

KOW - of course the Brits know all about Florida. Half of us own holiday homes in Orlando, and the other half spend most of our time trying to blag free hols off them.

[casey]

Dr. Apparently I don't speak Brit. Translation please?

[MOTW]

casey - I think blag means 'bum' and hols is short for holidays (vacations).

[Annie Where-but-here]

That may explain some of the lousy driving in the Orlando area. Wrong side of the road, ol' chap.

[Nebbisk]

OMG these guys are the perfect "Beer Officers!"

Re: LBFF's 11:45 post--
I was sitting here for far longer than I should have, wondering when Sandra Bullock was in a movie called Groin.

[Wahooligan]

Now see, your better class of criminal could only be lured by champagne.

[Wahooligan]

I blame his mother. When she told him not to take candy from strangers, she obviously did not explain that the rule should be applied more generally. Had they offered him a Snickers, I'm sure he'd have been more wily and run away.
