Oh no, you leave me outta this!
I started to go to Florida once but was beaten up and robbed along the way so I returned to New Jersey. Did I miss anything good?
The answer is always “no.”

Florida Woman in the news, too.
More than a year old, but I just saw it:
Much as I’d love this story to be true, I can’t find any mention of it except on a couple of humor web sites. I don’t see it on any legitimate news site. And there are some parts of the story that ping my bullshit meter, like the statement “However, Joseph didn’t face any charges because apparently, this is a mistake anyone who loves their dog, as much as Joseph does, will make when pressed against a life pondering question.” Even accepting that the last part of this sentence is deliberate humor, if he really abducted someone, he would certainly face charges.

The show Atlanta (which I love) covered Florida Man in the first episode of Season 2. Pretty funny. Here’s a scene:
A friend just told me that you can put “Florida Man” and your birthdate (written as “01/01” or whatever your month and date of birth are) into Google, and you can see what at least one Florida Man was up to that day.

“Meth smoking Florida man attacks mattress in jealous rage”

 - 
The Florida man climbed into the cage where the leopards lived and put on a pair of boxing gloves before attempting to box the leopard. The Florida man threw 7 punches at the leopard, and on the 7th punch was mauled and killed . . .
 
That… kind of makes it even worse?
That’s really funny! My line:
“Florida man accused of murdering wife after telling police she is ‘swimming with the fishes’”
The NY Post (a right-wing rag, but apparently now an anti-Trump one) headlined the kickoff of his latest campaign with “Florida Man Makes Announcement”.
Florida Man turns himself in for killing his imaginary friend.
