This report pretty much echoes my own sentiment after watching Palin last night. She's a great little Teleprompter reader, and she reads the stand-up comedy one-liners fed to her by the McCain speech writing team like a champ, but other than her ability to smirk on cue there wasn't much to brag about in her speech - just 'more of the same' attack lines, interspersed with 'more of the same' applause lines.

Speaking as a college-aged man, I must say you must be extremely gullible to believe anything about college-aged women in chat rooms or instant messaging, or emails who are willing to exchange graphic photos. Damn near all of that go to pay sites or horny 50 year old men.
Here's a hint, you know who they are only if they have a webcam, and can prove its who they are only through the webcam (or you know them personally)

jmaster, what Paul is saying in his unusually polite fashion is that I screwed up the site (again) and he had to fix it (again).
I am always finding new and interesting ways to screw up this site, in ways not even a Resolutely Clueless Moron would believe...
I already thanked you in e-mail, Paul, but let me repeat it again: thanks for catching and fixing my mistake. I won't even bother to promise it won't happen again -- we both know better than that.
J.

What's wrong with number 3? I know three guys who got popped for it -- all attorneys. Two killed themselves and the third is already out of prison.

I have to agree with David, number three can still be funny if it involves a lawyer.

Odds are that if you try to break into a business by stripping off your clothes and trying to climb down the chimney, you will get stuck, be caught in the morning and the subject of a 'stupid criminal' story in time for the AM drive-time radio shows. I would vote to retire this theme as well, with the exeption for lawyers, of course.

Not so much lately, but I used to get email spam all the time from "webcam babes" that all went something like, "Hi there, I am a 19-year-old college co-ed and I read your profile online [no such online profile exists] and you sound really cool and I'd like to get to know you better and maybe party with you [yeah, right] and so I'd like to show you how I get down and dirty on my webcam." I always figured it was some middle-aged guy with a beer gut and a beard.

I use to work next to a sex phone place. On the other side was a massage parlor and a transvestite bar. Actually, it was sex phone place, porn theater, me, massage parlor, tg bar. Anyway, some goof would always be tresspassing at the sex phone place looking for Misty or Brandi or whomever. What he would find is a room of older, rather Rubenesque ladies, who if he entered and yelled out, “Mom! “ they would all look up. The guys would refuse to leave, the cops would hall them off, and then I would end up with them.

Here is a "stupid person" story, but I'm not sure if its a stupid criminal or stupid worker story from a year ago. Best of all it doesn't match any of your criteria in the post.
During day shift at the prison my uncle works at a couple prisoners used shoe polish to paint their blue inmate uniforms black, the same color as the uniforms of the guards. They also made fake arm patches to help blend in.
They then proceeded to walk right out the front door of the prison. When they got to the front gate they were finally tackled by some observant officers that didn't recognize the "employees". Apparently one of the prisoners was abnormally tall...and black, something you don't really see in rural parts of the state.
