A Sucker Is Born Every Minute

Ya know that old saying "a sucker is born every minute"? Well, in Columbia County, Georgia I really don't know who that sucker is- the perpetrator or the victim. Last week 43 year old Joey Leaphart, who's rap sheet includes a number of foot related crimes, approached an 18 year old female Walmart shopper and asked if her toenails were painted. He then tricked her by saying he was a representative of "America's Funniest Home Videos" and offered to pay for her purchases if she would take part in a prank. By being a toetal sucker, she allowed him to kiss her foot and suck on her big toe before she started screaming. Mr. Leaphart ran from the store saying, "but it tasted so good". Sure hope he doesn't have two left feet 'cause that makes runnin' away from the law dogs a bit of a challenge. Wonder if his getaway vehicle was a toe truck????

Joey Leaphart's mug shot- he's not even a toe head

Now really, what's the harm here besides the fact that the poor guy picked Walmart as his crime scene. I wouldn't touch a Walmart shopper with a 10 foot pole. I think that toetally puts him in a jam- a toe jam.  Seriously, we have all seen those crazy people of Walmart photos on the Internet. Target shoppers seem a bit more classy and accommodating. I mean he obviously appreciates a nice pedicure and sounds like a smooth talker. At least he didn't put his foot in his mouth. Sure you give the guy a foot and he's gonna take a mile, but if you get your purchases for free and a nice foot cleanse outta the deal, what's really to complain about?

But alas, the po po took poor Joey away. Wonder if he will toe the line in the slammer?
