Meanwhile in Washington . . .

One man just couldn’t resist his need to access the carpool lane, last week, while driving in Snohmish County.  So he came up with what he probably thought was the most brilliant idea that mankind ever had – – – He used a Halloween skeleton as his passenger.

Dude even put a jacket and a hat on the skeleton, but local authorities were not to be fooled.

Police pulled the man and his decorative Halloween mate over for illegally using the carpool lane.  No word if they actually ticketed him or not; but dude, this just earned you a WIN as today’s champion in Fletch & Jai’s “Daaaarrwiiiiiiin Olyyyyympiiiiiiiiics!”
