In the Sunshine State, giving the police the middle finger is like inviting a hurricane to a picnic. It's not going to end well, and you'll probably regret it. Just ask Nicholas Kaseta, this daring young man decided that the best way to face the music after being pulled over was by riding his car like it's a unicycle.
It all went down in Brevard County, Florida, where even the traffic stops have a hint of Florida Man magic. According to Fox 35, the 25-year-old Nicholas Kaseta, was zooming down SR 528 East like he was auditioning for a role in Fast and Furious... Only with one freaking wheel. The police decided to put an end to this one-rim rodeo, but oh no, Nicholas had other plans.
As the deputies approached, expecting the usual "license and registration," Nicholas had a different idea. He channeled his inner Shakespeare and treated the officers to a double dose of the middle finger. Yup, both hands!
Sunshine State Salute:
And if that wasn't enough, when he finally got out of his car, he graced the deputies with yet another one-fingered salute. I guess he thought, why use words when you can just use your hands to express the eloquent sentiment of "I'm not pleased with this situation, officers."
As if the bird-flipping wasn't impressive enough, the deputies also caught a whiff of something special. Ya know, that unmistakable scent of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from Nicholas like an incriminating, perfume.
And when it came time for the field sobriety exercises, oh boy, did Nicholas give it his all. Except his all seemed to be more of a spirited interpretation of the Chicken Dance. It wasn't anything remotely close to a successful sobriety test.
So, in the end, our fearless rim-rider was apprehended for reckless driving and resisting arrest. Who knew that a routine traffic stop could be so entertaining?
VIDEO: Florida Man Becomes Shark Bait While Fishing
Here in Florida a lot of people head out on the water hoping for a big catch, but one Florida man became shark bait while fishing.
Fishing here in Florida is a popular recreational activity. In Fort Myers and Cape Coral alone, there's so many places to go. Whether it's fishing from shore or heading out for a deep sea adventure. A day on the water is always a good idea. And it's made even better if you come home with a good haul. I grew up fishing, so when I moved to Florida, I was thrilled that I could do it year-round. My backyard is a big pond, so even just stepping out and throwing in a line is fun and relaxing.
Usually fishing is a pretty tame activity. However, one Florida man had a shocking encounter last week at Everglades National Park. The man, just identified as Nick, was out with a group of friends Friday morning in Florida Bay. The fish were biting and everything was fine, until it wasn't. Nick had bent over the side of the boat to wash his hands and to his surprise, a lemon shark came and bit him, pulling him off the boat and into the water.
Thankfully, the group of friends were able to get Nick back on the boat and back to the dock where a ranger initially treated him. The Daily Mail reports he was then airlifted to Jackson South Medical Center and treated for an undisclosed injury.
Much like you hear when getting on a ride at Disney, here's a good thing to remember: Always keep hands and feet inside the boat.
