Florida's Staying Classy

So, reading through my daily dose of strange news this morning, I noticed something well… strange.

First, I’ll summarize:

A kid calls the cops because he gets robbed by men he’s attempting to sell drugs to. Kid ends up getting both a felony and a misdemeanor possession charge.

A few teenagers get caught trying to steal a small alligator from a miniature gold course. This I just don’t get. Why does a miniature gold course have a gator in the first place?

In any case, the strange thing is that both of these dumb events happened in (you guessed it) South Florida. The next time someone asks me why I would move here from Ft. Lauderdale, I’ll just tell them I got sick of living in a city where the classiest people are tourists.

On another note, they are selling the Santa Monica Pier ferris wheel on E-bay, in case anyone has $50K burning a hole in their pocket.
