That sounds like a normal Olive Garden customer to me.

I guess the standards of behavior are higher in Florida.

**Florida man tries to conceal $1,000 cash in rectum, deputies say**

> [Deputies] said they found a large wad of cash and some marijuana on Stokes’ person.

> Deputies said the cash was missing by the time they got to the jail. Then they noticed $20 bills “falling from Stokes’ buttocks area,” according to the Sheriff’s Office. “After a necessary but undesirable process for everyone involved, [detention deputies] located $1,090.00 in U.S. currency hidden in Stokes’ rectum,” the agency wrote in a Facebook post.

I really can’t think of any quip that would make this story funnier than it already is.

The man’s name is Arthur Thomas Miller.

(Not really but that would be pretty funny.)

I got  
“Florida Man Takes a Bullet to the Penis”  
and  
“Florida woman makes bomb threat to halt boyfriend’s urine test, police say”

That’s plenty of excitement for one day, jeez

Mike Birbiglia jokes a man died during a cockroach eating contest. Then says, I know, what part of Florida was he from? Then names the part of Florida where he was from…

Let’s be fair. As a watcher of police bodycam videos on YouTube, I can tell you that there is also the amazing phenomenon of Florida Woman!

I don’t know if they eat bugs, but they can definitely manage to turn a traffic stop for a minor traffic violation into an arrest and felony conviction.
