I got drunk, lost my pants, and $41,000.


Here is yet another story of a dumb Ass drunk. What do you tell your wife and kids after something like this appears on CNN? The guy says he doesn't remember what happened after he left the bar????


Pants found on street with $41,000 check

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin (AP) -- It was embarrassing enough that Mark Stahnke woke up in a neighbor's yard without his pants. Then he remembered they contained a cashier's check for $41,093, meant for his son, and several hundred dollars in cash.

But he got it all back Friday, including the pants, thanks to a man and his dog. Stahnke said he doesn't know what happened between when he left the bar and when he woke up the next morning, and police were skeptical when he filed a report on Monday.

"We're used to hearing weird stories, but with his intoxication we figured this one would be different, that the amount of money wouldn't be exact," Police Lt. William Graham said. "How do you get so intoxicated that you lose your pants?" Stahnke said he had met his son at a bar and doesn't remember much afterward.

"I woke up cold not knowing where the heck I was, and I didn't realize it at first because I still had my shoes and socks on," he said. "When I got up, I realized, my God, I don't have any pants." Tim Curzan's dog, Joe, found the pants at an intersection, according to a police report. He found the cashier's check and tried twice, unsuccessfully, to deliver it and the cash to where he thought the owner lived. On Wednesday, the pants were still at the intersection, so Curzan took them to the police, who contacted Stahnke to claim his belongings.

The Profit Calculator!


I love it when Parade Magazine comes out with their special issue each year about what people earn in America, You've seen it before I'm sure. Usually at the bottom of the workplace pile are the teachers and police officers. I mean why should they make any money they're only responsible for the education and safety of the future leaders of the free world.

Then of course you have Paris Hilton and the likes who have made absolutely no contribution to society (except bad TV) but make millions doing... well what the hell does she do anyway?

The New Yorker Magazine did a great story on what people make. Not the usual jobs either but some rather unusual ones. Take a look at the full story. Click Here
