The one and only grand prize worthy of jackass of the year award goes to Thailand's Dumbest Braggart who simply could not resist babbling on about his top cop connections. It all unfolded when this silly billy tried to make a desperate attempt to escape from a police checkpoint while out riding his motorcycle. His initial crime was cruising without a valid license plate but..
A bigger can of worms was about to blow up when entrapped further down the road. Not to be confused with the mouth-watering savory fried variety sold on street corners as an anytime snack. The worms in this case were not the tasty type. No wonder this bonehead was keen to make good his escape. It turns out the license plate saga was only the tip of the iceberg.
After a hurried search for a plausible cause to end the nightmare that was about to engulf him, this clown then goes on to identify himself as the son of a high ranking police officer. What the heck was this dumb-ass thinking! Why would a stupid statement such as this enable him to be released from the net around his neck. He needs to think twice before crossing that line.
The Man with the Blabber Mouth
Obviously not because he just couldn't keep his big babbling mouth zipped tight shut. He went on to say how proud he was of his father being in the police force and that he would never jeopardize his position or reputation by getting involved in any kind of criminal intent.
That was all about to change when a small bag was seen dangling from his trouser pocket. As it appeared not to be a colostomy bag for emptying his bowel, this sorry ass was about to be in a lot more crap than he wanted. He was in fact carrying a bag full of Yah Ice. Oh! dear dear me.
Without a second thought Thailand's dumbest braggart immediately set about denying any knowledge as to how drugs could possibly have come to be in his possession. After all he was the son of a policeman and people in these positions usually raise law abiding children. How wrong was that.
He went on to explain to police that he had come to the neighbourhood in search of work and that the trousers he was presently wearing, did not belong to him but were in fact the property of a friend of his. Wow! was it necessary to put his foot so far down his throat. I am sure his friend won't be thinking twice any more about taking this relationship to the next level.
Gift of the Garbage
You have to give this dummy a small amount of credit for having the gift of the gab but he needs to know that he cannot fool the police with such horse s**t as was the stuff streaming from his orifice. This was not the end of the matter either. There was more to come. It turns out that after further investigation, the mobile phone he was carrying was not his either.
A telephone number found on the sim card revealed that the phone in fact belonged to a young woman not known to the thief. Earlier this young lady had laid a complaint about her bag being snatched whilst out riding.
Later when brought in to identify the culprit at the police station, a fight ensured between the distraught girl, her emotionally charged family and the canny thief. It was like a scene out of the reality program Cheaters. Fist fights and mud slinging were the order of the day until the suspect had to be sustained from further injury. He will have his day in court.
Thailand's Dumbest Braggart has had his last open mouth day. The smirk on his face was long gone and all that remained was a solitary sad-sack.
If you intend adding your name to the dumbest braggart register and in need of some good advice, would it not be a whole lot better to take time out to plan your thrill seeking escapades just that little bit better. It just might take the sting out of your tail. It's not in your best interest to bring your dear father into the picture when stopped at a road block with drugs.
Driving on a main road is also not advisable especially if you happen to be carrying stolen goods, hazardous narcotics and no proper license plate. Take the back roads. That way you might get away with your dirty deeds.
