"Fried Fridays: Picture-Perfect Purse-Snatch"

It's what a lot of young women do at a bachelorette party...go to a bar (don't worry, this isn't x-rated!)...


Naturally, they're having fun and sharing in that special time before the Big Day, and, just as naturally, male jerks hit on 'em and try to act cool...

DATELINE: BENSALEM, PENNSYLVANIA

A good time was being had by all at the Bensalem Township taproom last Saturday night. Andre Smith began practicing his suave maneuvering amongst the bachelorette party, striking up conversations with the ladies and, I'm sure, saying really stupid stuff.

As women, especially, are more prone to do than men, they were taking photos of each other to remember the night (or embarrass someone at an appropriate time down the road...).
That's when Mr. Ham himself, Andre, jumped into one of the pictures in hopes of manifesting his studliness.

Apparently, he was a legend in his own mind and oblivious to his obnoxious behavior...the bouncers shortly thereafter had to kick him out after myriad customer complaints.


I'm sure there was a sigh of relief in the party as they more comfortably enjoyed their evening. In time, the attendees began to leave, and two of the women headed to a nearby convenience store...when out of the shadows jumped a man who stole their purses and quickly ran away.


While I'm sure they were scared and fearful from the sudden attack, they had enough wits about them to realize that the man...was none other than Andre. He apparently didn't recognize them, but they sure remembered him.

Idiots have a way of standing out in a crowd.


The police had a much easier time finding Andre, too, thanks to the picture Andre had the ladies take of his identifiable mug. By Sunday, they found his apartment complex and made the arrest, slapping on a $50,000 bail.


"Hey Andre...
here's yer sign!"

(thanks, Bill Engvall and Travis Tritt!)
