King of the Idiots?

More stupid than someone sticking his arm into a tiger's cage while drunk? You decide (from the Tampa Tribune):

Man Asks Police To Test Crack Pipe

TAMPA - One minute a pair of Tampa police officers were trying to catch a couple of loose dogs Tuesday morning, the next they were fielding a unique request from a man.

Would they test his crack pipe to make sure he was getting the real thing? According to an arrest affidavit, Phillip Williams wasn't convinced he was being sold actual crack cocaine. So about 11:15 a.m., he approached Officers Wayne Easley and Gary Filippone to verify he was getting real drugs.

He was.

The officers tested the pipe, which, sure enough, had cocaine residue. Williams, who is listed on jail records as a security worker at MacDill Air Force Base, was arrested.

I think we can get the crown and scepter ready for Mr. Williams. God Save the King!
