White Trash

Las Vegas definitely has white trash just like any other city.

I was watching the news a little this morning on our local NBC affiliate before jumping in the shower. There was a story about two parents fixin' to go to court today on child endangerment charges. I looked on the channels' web site, but I couldn't find a link. Sorry. Pictures are worth a thousand grunts.

Anyway, here's the story:
'Daddy' decides to steal some gas. Nothing new there. He goes to several cars and siphons gas out of them into a plastic container. After the can gets full, he puts it in the back seat - here's the good part - between his 2 year-old daughter and 4 year-old son! He then climbs in behind the wheel to leave. Don't go away yet, it gets better.

'Daddy', then decides it's time for a smoke, so he lights up. The fumes ignite, the can ignites, and of course, the children are next to ignite.

But 'Daddy' doesn't panic, no, he calls 'Mommy' to tell her what happened.
Wait a minute. Shouldn't 'Daddy' be call 911 instead? Shouldn't 'Mommy' have called?

Hence, the child endangerment charges.
