Interestingly, "Florida Man" news stories are largely the result of a law called the Government in the Sunshine Act. The Surprising Truth About FLORIDA MAN!

I want to know where exactly on the books it says this specific act is illegal.
40 1 ReplyThey charged him with indecent exposure. There's not a "defecation on a deceased marsupial with the intent to disrupt traffic" statute.

It's only illegal in Florida during rush hour. When traffic isn't so congested, lots of people are doing this and it's hardly headline material.

7 1 ReplyYeah this sounds like quite a load.

Seriously tho, where’s the story about a florida man trying to poop on a live possum, that would be something.
21 0 ReplyA lot of possums play dead and are not really dead. This is one way you can test whether or not a possum is dead.
