I'll admit, this one's a pretty unique Florida Man.
Just when you think it couldn’t get any weirder, Florida Man proves you wrong.
It can always get even Florider
Interestingly, "Florida Man" news stories are largely the result of a law called the Government in the Sunshine Act. The Surprising Truth About FLORIDA MAN!
Don't sell us so short, we're not the only state with Sunshine Laws. For example, have you ever heard of Missouri Man?
RIP to the possum
Rest in poo
The possum was looking so lonely in its death so the Florida Man just wanted to give it a gift.
Seriously tho, where’s the story about a florida man trying to poop on a live possum, that would be something.
A lot of possums play dead and are not really dead. This is one way you can test whether or not a possum is dead.
He's just testing his hy-poo-thesis
You simply cannot argue with that logic.
In Florida.
That can't possibly be...
Yep. It's the actual, unedited headline. This one ought to win some kind of award.
He won the bet though
[Florida Man] ... was not under the influence of any intoxicants at the time of the alleged incident
- Pinellas County Sheriff's Office
Just thought it was as good a place as any
Setting a new bar for the others
What did he get arrested for though? Was pooping in public thr part that was illegal or is doing it on a dead possum considered animal abuse?
The last line of the article is
He was charged with exposure of sexual organs and booked at the Pinellas County Jail.
Don't judge, it could happen to anyone
Florida Roulette.
1 of 6 times the opossum is still alive.
