Those of you wondering what we here at BWE.tv will be up to this Labor Day weekend, the NY Times has run a story of a homeless man who has pretty much nailed our exact plans: Calling the police from a hot tub and demanding some cocoa. You are really dumb, furreal:
A homeless man who called 911 from the hot tub of a suburban Portland home and asked for towels, hot chocolate and a hug got arrested for trespassing instead.
Beaverton police say Mark Eskelsen called 911 from his cell phone, identified himself as ”the sheriff of Washington County,” and asked for medical help. He later admitted he wasn’t the sheriff but informed the dispatcher he’d been ”yelling for about an hour and a half.”
The man said in his Sunday morning call that he’d been in the water about 10 hours and his towels had gotten wet. As he put it, ”I just need a hug and a warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in it.”
Well if that’s illegal, then lock me up and throw away the keys while I sing Barbra Streisand’s “Guilty” from behind bars because this is what I want my life to be.
And if you want your nightmares to have a little special flare tonight, click here to see what the guy looks like. We saved this for last, as we knew this would be a “story ruiner.”
