If it was Floridaā€¦ the man with the sword would have been shot by the rifle, not chased with it.

Well, that should stop any speculation Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) wants to be president.

A Republican canā€™t be president without winning FL

Right. Why bothering chasing ā€¦ I mean, chasing a crazy naked dude wielding a sword into the woods. WTF! Shit, driver probably coulda just leaned out the window and shot the guy in the butt, like tourists leaning out their windows taking pictures of the Grand Canyon. Kinda like a drive by.

In the story Sasse shared, a naked man carrying a sword allegedly approached the car of another man and tapped on the car window with the sword. The man inside the vehicle grabbed his rifle and chased the naked man in to the woods, according to the Lincoln Journal Star.

That's a pretty fricking convoluted story to tell when trying to cover up meeting someone at a highway rest stop.

If nothing else, this post alerted me to the existence of the ā€œFlorida Manā€ Twitter feed, which I will now eagerly follow for entertainment value.

More often than not, Floridians I know embrace the Florida Man phenomenon rather than get offended by it. Itā€™s a way to deflect shame and be ā€˜inā€™ on the joke, as it were.

Lawton Chiles was Gov of FL when I lived in the Keys. The only weird shit aside from tourists being idiots that I recall were raising a stink when HW came down to go deep sea fishing and being a bit freaked out about Desert Storm when it began. Monroe county was solid Dem back in those days.
