If at first you don't succeed...


Consider, if you will, the case of one Glenn Irvin Sparling, a 65 year old man from Ravenden Springs in Arkansas.

He gets into his car. Drives to the post office. Crashes into it. Goes home. Gets another car. Does it again, in a "rinse and repeat" kind of way.

"Sparling had damaged a post office previously, and the sheriff said Sparling had a history of damaging postal buildings. No one was in the post office when it was hit."
This is as close to genius as I've seen in a very, very long time.


UPDATE: Good lord, they're all at it!


I was surfing the web for more news on this curious little incident when I found that an 88 year-old woman had done pretty much the same thing in Burbank, CA

OK, she'd managed to only use one car, and she didn't have any previous: but there's a pattern emerging and Sp3ccy don't like it one bit.

You'll excuse me if I conduct all my business by email for the next few days; just until this whole "old people ramming post offices" thing blows over.
