They should cut these tramps a bit of slack every now and then. Sure, paying for goods or services rendered with a stolen credit card is never a good thing. But C'mon! I bet this bum hasn't felt so good since they cut off the free eats down at the local "occupy" protest...He's 27-year-old vagrant Jonah Lee Troutman (pictured above), and apparently this wanderer's toe nail hygiene ain't been exactly the best lately. Since why else would this nomad allegedly blow a stolen credit card on a pedicure rather than loading up on smokes, eats or 40-ouncers?
In short, he must have felt he really needed that foot job. And I'm actually sympathetic over here. How many stories do we read about these hobos lifting copper from anything possible and pulling frauds (sometimes of the credit card variety) just to get their drink or drugs on?
The fact that one of these vagabonds would instead (allegedly) take the opportunity to get a little hoof love raises a genuine smile on my face. Plus just think: The damn BALLS on this bindlestiff!For the record, this stinkpot's little left-turn into the lap of luxury finally went awry (allegedly) when the credit card was declined up at the counter at Nancy's Nails in Tampa. Troutman reportedly told cops that he found the card out on the street and felt that "finding it was a blessing from God."
While I personally think the best law enforcement measure here would have been to tell this floater to get the hell out of Dodge and never show his face around there again, cops still busted his Rum Dum ass with charges of illegal credit card use and petty theft, garnering him a one-way ticket to the hoosegow. At least he'll get his own foot locker down there.

I've dealt with a card thief that got a hair weave and a tattoo....talk about stupid! ha! The freakin' tattoo is the evidence! ha!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the few people my age on the planet who has no tatoos. And the funny thing is: If hardly anyone ever got a tatoo, THEN I'd get one!
ReplyDeleteNone for me either....I have no issue with them really, I just never had a reason to get one, ya know? I like the ones that mean something, like when a troop of soldiers all get the same one signifying their brotherhood. The other ones I see are usually just silly...what do I need with a butterfly on my neck, right?!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Shithouse tatoo. I might get that one if I decided to get one.
ReplyDeleteYou could make that work.....just own it! ha! Soon, everyone will want one just like it =)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll put it right on my forehead.
ReplyDeleteWell, sure....that way everyone can see it, it's the only reasonable thing to do! That way it can always be a conversation piece =)
ReplyDeleteOf course I'd never do that. But it would be cool to get one of those fake kiddie temporary "tatoos" in the form of a shithouse right on my forehead. Then for one night (and not beyond), it WOULD be a real conversation starter. I'd be like, "guess which state -- no! Alabama, not Mississippi!"
ReplyDeleteI tried to search for a site where you can create customized temp tattoos, but I came up with bubkus, sorry!
ReplyDeleteI bet they sell those temp ones right out the tatoo parlor. Bet I could go down there and tell them, "I don't wants a permy one, but if you could conjure up a kiddie one with a big giant Shithouse on it, I'd be willing to buck up." The buck part would get their attention, and then VOILA, I'd have me my Shithouse tatoo!
ReplyDeleteJust be sure to post pics please!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. It's an entertaining idea to me. I shall have to remember to try that one sometime. Now if they don't do kiddie temp tatoos, then a big NOTHIN DOING. But otherwise...
ReplyDeleteOooh, can't wait for this one!
ReplyDeleteEven better would be a boxer who, instead of getting one of those temporary website tatoos on his back for a big fight, does a big giant Mississippi shithouse all over his backside.
ReplyDeleteAnd he could make sure the outhouse door hits him right in the crack! ha!
ReplyDeleteMississippi shithouses have doors?
