Love the second one...
Reminds me of the movie Grumpy Old Men. At the end they show outakes and bloopers and Walter Matthau is waving goodbye to the limo carrying Jack Lemmon and Ann Margret to their honeymoon. Lemmon walks up behind Matthau and asks him what's going on......The look on his face is priceless!

People are that stupid .Had some folks across the street that was cheap entertainment .Seems his car wont start one day so he hooked up a 20 foot chain to tow it to the station by himself. Made it about 1 block before it whipped up in a ladys front yard and took out a small tree.
