Three-time loser

If you’re gonna fiddle with homemade explosives, you really should be careful.

A crook named Ben Kuzelka wasn’t, but that’s no surprise. He already had a pot-growing operation at a home that was licensed by the state as a day care center.

Kuzelka’s hat trick of foolishness was uncovered this week in California when he blew off most of one hand. He told the emergency room doctors it was a gunshot wound, but they were suspicious.

To them, and anyone who didn’t have the benefit of medical school, it looked waaay more like the whole thing was darn near blown off.

So they called the cops, the cops searched his house, and they found the indoor pot farm right by the day care.

Maybe Kuzelka though it would be a selling point for hip parents: Drop off the kid, pick up a lid.

At any rate, he will now have a lot of time to think about the error of his ways … and why many idiots who fiddle with homemade explosives are often nicknamed “Stumpy.”
