A bit of humer from the BBC
No offense to our Kiwi friends 
"They got up and ran out of the court onto the street... That's where they met the pole - it was all over, rover" - A police officer's account of two prisoners' futile bid for freedom
The prisoners, who were handcuffed together, thought they had made their great escape from the courthouse in New Zealand. However they runied their own getaway when they ran either side of a lamppost, crashed into each other and fell into a heap, where police caught up with them.

I'm sure I've seen that slapstick scenario somewhere. Laurel & Hardy? Abbott & Costello? Too many reruns in remand, perhaps. Maybe we should feel sorry for them. They'll be the joke of the jail. Or possibly they'll get time off for imbecility.

To be fair, I was watching 'world's dumbest criminals' a while ago, and two fellas were being led out of a police 'paddywagon'. They 2 were handcuffed together and promptly ran on either side of a lamp post! They only made it about 10 meters.
This happened (believe it or not ) in America.

Great thread 
I find it ironic that the whole crux of it is about 2 guys being really dumb, and then i look at the spelling on the title of the thread.

Humer means to inhale or to smell...maybe we should inhale deeply before we laugh out loud at the gumbys in the handcuffs!!

A typo on my part 
I actually looked up the spelling to make sure I got it right
Then still got it wrong 
But as they say no one is perfect, not even me

Seems like the thread title may have been a Freudian Slip there Ron.
These two blokes may have thought they were auditioning for a place on "Worlds Funniest Home Videos".
