Riots in The Villages
 
The rioting in major cities across the U.S. has spread to The Villages, Florida. Looters in Florida’s friendliest hometown have especially broken into stores that sell items like laxatives, vitamins, hearing aids, reading glasses, energy drinks and surgical stockings.

The thugs were easily caught and arrested since they were using their walkers and golf carts to flee. The protests have been limited to the evening hours because most of the lawbreakers either had doctor’s appointments during the day or rioting would have interfered with their naps.

The marches didn’t last that long because many of the demonstrators had to get home to pee. In many cases, the demonstrators simply forgot why they were even there. Officials considered a curfew starting at 9 p.m. But since that’s the time when most of the residents go to bed anyway, it was decided that it wasn’t needed.

Community leaders concluded that part of the problem was that residents were restless because they had too much time on their hands since the recreation centers, pools, theaters, boutique stores and especially the bars were closed due to the coronavirus.

Community officials wanted to form a committee to look further into the problem, but no one would volunteer due to social distancing concerns.

We have been very bored staying at home and would love a distraction. Could we please give us 24 hours notice before the next riot so we can make plans to attend.

Pretty funny thread.

Reminds me of Mark Twain.

Steve9930 06-28-2020 07:05 PM

Now that is hillarious.

Gulfcoast 06-28-2020 07:29 PM

As a prospective buyer, I'd rather see live entertainment and dancing on the squares. Rioting and looting just doesn't do it for me.

Velvet 06-28-2020 07:32 PM

Aw... I think OP’s post is funny. I wouldn’t worry if I were a prospective buyer, OP is tongue in cheek.

Ecuadog 06-28-2020 07:36 PM

I hope that the rioters were wearing masks.

tophcfa 06-28-2020 08:07 PM

Thanks for the laugh jrn5656, it's nice to read a thread that is on the lighter side, all good : )

skyking 06-28-2020 08:48 PM

I saw that. Many "Old Lives Matter" signs. Things are getting out of hand.

I vote for funny. People need to untwist their knickers once in awhile..

Boomer 06-28-2020 09:24 PM

The OP was just having a little creative fun. :)

[QUOTE=Gulfcoast;1794090]As a new buyer, I'd rather see live entertainment and dancing too!

stadry 06-29-2020 05:08 AM

even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while & she found you ! ;-) there may be another but i'm guessing the avg's fairly low compared to the statistics outside the 'bubble'

we JUST found our house & will be there in 30d - i'm the reluctant party & bride is chomping at the bit,,, many walkers waved while we were driving around but it all remains to be seen

billbob 06-29-2020 05:19 AM

We attended that rally!!!
 
We were at that rally!! No, my wife just told me we were not there. She said we should have been there since we are out of denture cream, toilet paper, and Tylenol. Please hold rally around 4 so I can finish my golf game go to the pool, get a nap in, have a vodka and tonic on my lanai, watch my grass grow, and take a bike ride. Please also make sure it is done by 6:00 so I can make my regular stop to the bathroom to unload, watch the nightly news, read, and be in bed by 9:30.

Wonderful😄

Tommyc6 06-29-2020 05:29 AM

Thank you so much RJN found your post quite clever and yes very funny. A much needed distraction during these chaotic times.

Gulfcoast.....not to worry, it was all in jest, and we will welcome you as a new neighbor with open arms. WELCOME NEIGHBOR!

Freeda 06-29-2020 05:56 AM

And please don’t make it during the afternoon - too hot to get out.

PugMom 06-29-2020 06:07 AM

very clever! you must have an excellent sense of humor ~!

atcspaul 06-29-2020 06:10 AM

I saw this headline and it scared the **** out of me, We purchased a house in February and have not moved yet because of all the social unrest and of course covid. I couldn't wait to show my wife because I knew she would go nuts (which she did), great fun way to start the morning lol :bigbow:

oldtimes 06-29-2020 06:11 AM

Funny

RC Rosenfeld 06-29-2020 06:20 AM

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.

Anne17 06-29-2020 06:27 AM

I thank the OP s for the funny commentary on the Village riots. I agree that we are losing our sense of humor when something like this gets a negative response. Keep it up - the laughs are good for the soul.

Rr23070 06-29-2020 06:29 AM

We need more humor like this. Lighten up and enjoy.😂😂

La lamy 06-29-2020 06:29 AM

I believe the TV 'rioters' were also socially distancing and left thank you notes to the stores.

Siegfried 06-29-2020 06:36 AM

Nicely written.

baramu 06-29-2020 06:53 AM

Thanks for something light.

LoisR 06-29-2020 06:55 AM

Hello Bob and Cheri,
And I thought they would have gone for the Viagara. Regards, Gary and Lois

DPayton 06-29-2020 07:09 AM

Enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing.

jaccik1 06-29-2020 07:11 AM

Hysterical. Thanks for the post.

gloria321 06-29-2020 07:19 AM

Thanks for the top chuckle of the day! I chuckled with the previous quotes from others but I laughed out loud with yours.

Thanks for your humor!!
