A North Carolina tobacco farmer is in a stand-off with police after driving his tractor into a pond on the Mall. Maybe he's just a really bad driver and thought, "Well, now that I'm here..."
Two great gems have come from the story so far:
1. Name of the U.S. Park Police spokesman: Scott Fear.
2. A comment from Watson's neighbor: "She believes Watson is 'trying to make a point' about the government's tobacco policy. She says she believes Watson isn't a crazy person, adding that he's 'just been pushed to the edge.' "
If this doesn't count as crazy in North Carolina, then what does? Driving into a pond and smoking menthols? And this isn't spur of the moment craziness. This guy was going 55 tops driving up here in a rundown jeep with a tractor attached. He has been crazy at Denny's, crazy at the Motel 6, crazy buying Breakfast Bites at 7-11... He should have abducted a couple teenagers along the way and combined two stories into one.
Eventually, the police are going to get tired of the standoff, toss him a turban, and shoot him.
"Hey, Akmed. Catch."
"Akmed? Why are you calling me--uh oh."
