(Not my funniest title ever, but)…
I remember seeing news footage, shot from a helicopter, of a looter who emerged from under the ripped open security gate of a large store. He then proceeded down the street carrying his prized loot, which he was risking being shot or at least arrested to posses. And what was the object of this fellow’s desire? A 12 foot tall potted palm tree.
I can only conclude that one of the following is true;
1. He was so caught up in the excitement of the moment that he panicked, grabbing the first thing he came across.
or;
2. He had always wanted his own palm tree, but he couldn’t quite justify this expenditure on his budget. And now he had his damned tree, and, as an added bonus, he was ‘sticking it’ to ‘the man’ at the same time.
Up the Revolution!
Pouring My Art Out 
I was living in LA during that time – and I remember seeing people loot such bizarre things like that! Although, I don’t recall that one – really funny!!
Those were some strange days.
You can’t loot plane tickets to Disney World. Perhaps he’s been stocking up on items that can be found on the beaches of Florida to fool his kids into thinking they’re there? They already have a mouse hiding in the kitchen. It’s an idea…
If you dig up a palm tree in the middle of the night, it is just theft, not looting…
I thought everything black people do on the news is looting? That’s what my grandpa says.
You are so gonna turn into your Grandpa one of these days. Like next week, maybe.
Darn those sticky palms.
Good one… Or, maybe, to celebrate the Rodney King riot, he got himself a Queen Palm…
LOVE THIS!
I want to meet that man. Love that he is stickin’ it to the man, that living in a state with several palm trees he has one of his own to gaze upon whenever he likes, secure in the knowledge that it is HIS.
STILL laughing, thanks!
I have a dream!… aw, screw the dream, I needs me a palm tree…
You are delightfully irreverent!
I aim to please…
…or maybe he needed a pot. continue…
Oh,that is deep…
viva……………
Ah darlin’, you never cease to make me smile, hell….sometimes I downright chuckle.
I am still going for the full ROFL…
Or he has a fetish for tall leafy things. 😉
He couldn’t keep his hands off his palms…
lol!
