Somehow I suspect many on this forum may appreciate this:

A man from Illinois was arrested for getting $224,000 worth of manure dumped on his former employer’s property, only two weeks after he won $125 million at the lottery and quit his job.

Lieutenant Frank Meyers, a spokesman of the Clarendon Hills Police Department, met the press a few hours later to explain the motivations behind this strange crime.

Quote:
“The accused told us he’d worked for the victim for 17 years and was treated like ****. He says he had to endure his mistreatment because he needed the money, but that now that he won $125 million it was time for revenge.”

(OK, OK, it's satire, but still...)

He blew a quarter mil and what did he gain? Some people are too emotionally attached to their jobs. By the way, if anyone stays at the same job for 17 years, it's a personal choice not related to money. Sorry, this dude looks like the fool.

This man chose an expensive and inefficient way to get back at his boss. Just leaving his job, telling his boss his winnings, and rubbing it in would have been just great.

But no, he chose this option. Wouldn't it have been ironic if he would have been put into prison for this deed for some years and then he could watch his millions from afar and not enjoy that money?

If I was in his place, I would be sailing on the ocean in my private yacht, buying homes all over the world, and enjoying the millionaire lifestyle rather than dumping expensive sh** into someone's yard.

Perhaps being mistreated at his job enraged him so much that he had to do this? Oh well, after this prank he can now live the millionaire lifestyle and laugh at his sh**ty ex-boss. LOL!

It would have been easier to just pay a random person to eat spicy Indian food and have diarrhea all over his lawn.

What a stupid waste of money.

As a Ferengi once said "Revenge is never profitable."

Guess he wasn't rich enough now to buy his former employer's company and fire his old boss.
