I once posted a story about an adult man who called 911 while drunk to complain that his mother took away his beer. Even that shiftlessness pales in comparison to a recent story from Georgia.
In the new case, an adult man allegedly held his mother hostage at gunpoint for six hours because she would not do his laundry. (She managed to escape and reach a police station, and was physically unharmed.)

Considering all the hope that a mother will have for her children, it’s both infuriating and sad that the two women in these respective stories were burdened with worthless, shiftless, thoughtless, and in one case violent, sons.
One hears much about how many jobs the federal government has supposedly “created or saved.” Surely there must be a few of those jobs for workers to cart dynamite or clean out nuclear reactors.
I can think of two candidates who’d be perfect, just perfect, for those tasks.
