Florida Man and Florida Woman are America’s real-life supervillain duo, and here are the honors they’ve recently earned.

Oh, #Florida! Man steals car in Sarasota, somehow winds up in New York naked in a chicken coop. https://t.co/hoxBUgJCL5

The linked report claims that “police say he was acting erratic,” but I say let those among us who has not been arrested after stealing a car, waking up the next day in another state, naked, in a chicken coop, cast the first stone.

Sometimes, Florida Man acts as though he thinks he’ll never get arrested again, which seems… unwise.

Fortunately no one was injured. What might have set off Florida Man during a peaceful ocean cruise remains a mystery, even to Florida Man himself.

Victim of Circumstance

Not All Heroes Wear Capes
Florida man saves a turtle from oncoming traffic – Mike Perry really is the Florida Man from all the news stories 🤔😂

Just a gentle reminder that Florida Man has his soft side, too. Anyone willing to risk his life on a busy street to rescue wildlife can eat all the bath salts he wants, as far as I’m concerned.

I for one do not, and never have condoned the use of tomato-based condiments on living human beings. Nevertheless, I do wonder if this “assault” really warrants a misdemeanor domestic battery charge. And if you disagree, then please pass the mustard.
And New to Our Florida Man Honors, the Please Get a Life Award
On how small-crime click bait, like Florida Man, and news-in-pursuit-of-pageviews is really just trashy exploitation of lower-income, mentally ill and addicted people among us — and why journalists must do better. https://t.co/gzrLCOLaI2 via @cjr

“Do better” is internet code for “stop enjoying things I don’t like.” Which is clearly not Florida Man’s style.
