Hey Bubba, Watch This

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

AP reported 1/18/2008 that the three young men at the SF Zoo who were attacked by the tiger were both stoned and inebriated. Providing us with a real life example of the old redneck joke that relates Billy Bob's last words "Hey Bubba, hold my beer and watch this!"

Definitely Toss: Repeat
We've already received this story dozens of times, so this counts as a repeat. As the reports are also blaming the zoo in part for not having the enclosure walls high enough, these idiots had every right to believe they were safe when they were taunting the tiger. So although they were acting like jerks they really can't be fully blamed for the attacks.
