I could see a kid doing this but not a 62 year old man.



LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) — A man dubbed the "literary litterbug" for tossing more than 600 books along a busy Colorado highway must complete 30 hours of community service and pay $1,725 in restitution and court costs.

The Longmont Times-Call reports ( U.S. 287 book tosser pleads guilty to littering, ordered to pay $1,725 for clean-up - Longmont Times-Call ) 62-year-old Glenn Pladsen pleaded guilty Thursday to three counts of littering. He was pulled over in April after throwing books from his vehicle in Boulder County.

I'm sorry, but I can't resist this................

"Sounds like they threw the book (back) at him!"

"Pladsen says he was dumping the books on his way to work because he couldn't figure out any other way to get rid of them. The Arvada man used to sell books online."

Clearly the man is not a problem solver.

I would have loved to hear the judge use Leno's famous line to Hugh Grant - "What the hell were you thinking?"
