The guy flies all the way from Colombia, but wisely waits until he's on Florida soil, before going nutty. Now that's the way to do it!

It's hard to know where to start. Why does he have a dashcam? Why is the dashcam pointed at himself? Knowing there's a camera on him, why would he do this anyway? How did someone else get the footage? What makes him think that shooting his gun while driving is a good thing to do? If this is how he responds to traffic, how does he cope with actual high pressure situations? What a shithead.

What? Haven't you ever forgotten to roll down the car window before spitting out of it?

That’s alotta skeeters!
I did a lab for a mosquito control office. It was pretty neato.
They catch them and test em for diseases and to see how the pesticides are working. It’s a cool setup.

Do they set them free at the end? If so they should be shot.

Man, you’d have to be really good with a gun to hit a mosquito.
Trying to hit a million of them would be close to impossible.
Maybe they should use a pesticide or something instead.

A big can of raid or one of those bug bombs should do the trick.

Or new condition of renewal of gun liscences. They need to kill 100 mosquitoes in 150 shots.

Ohh...... you were talking about shooting the biologists......not the bugs.......
My bad.

Originally. That is the penalty for releasing mosquitoes.

If you hate mosquitoes now, you will hate them infinitely more after you hear this song by Queens Of The Stone Age:

Jean-Louis Mouras of France invented the septic tank in 1860. An estimated 25% of US homes – including this one in Florida – use septic tanks instead of being connected to a municipal sewer system.

What a shitty way to go.....

 

[sadchild]

Every time the septic tank company comes to my house and digs up that tank and opens it, I have nightmares of falling in or when my son was younger him falling in. Ughhhh

 

[HecticArt]

I get nervous like that every time someone wants to dig under my porch.....

In the Philly burbs we had well water and a septic tank. The well was cool cause it has a little concrete hut built over the part where the pipes came out of the ground to connect to the house and in the winter my dad had to put a heat lamp in there to prevent the pipes from freezing.

But my main point here is I thought the septic tank was so freaking cool as a kid. My parents always told me to stay away from the lid cause while it was also concrete they didn't want me messing around with it and falling in or whatever. So it was mysterious...that made it cooler. Then when the guys came with the truck a few times a year to empty it, it was the coolest! It was a huge brick lined hole in the ground that seemingly went all the way to China. No joke there was a good stretch of time as a young kid where I wanted to be a septic tank guy when I grew up. Haha.

You could have been a professional sewer screwer.

That's a pretty fucked up story. A well is deep, and the water line going to the house should be well below the frost line, so it shouldn't ever freeze. But maybe yours was too shallow?

Also, a septic tank gets pumped every other year or so, not (usually) several times a year. And every tank I know of is concrete, no brick. But maybe old ones had brick. Plus, the concrete lid weighs a couple of hundred pounds. I don't think a kid would accidentally move it. And unless you had no sense of smell, I would think a kid wouldn't want to be anywhere near a tank being pumped.
