I’m inaugurating a new category today called ‘how stupid can you get’ and I hope that you’ll enjoy it. Along with the big stupid stories that come along I want to highlight the small stupid ones—frequently local. These are often the folks who would qualify for a Darwin Award—except that they’re still alive.

First up is Daniel Kuch who had just two small wishes. One was to avoid a mandatory drug test at Wal-Mart where he worked and the second was to know what it was like to be shot—a strange desire coming from an Iraq war vet.

So he enlisted the help of Kurtis Johnson, also an Iraq vet, to do the deed.

‘The 24-year-old Pasco man and his friend first told police Kuch was the victim of a drive-by shooting. But authorities say their stories were suspicious from the beginning. When they dug deeper, they say the men came clean and confessed…’

Kuch was charged with false reporting and Johnson with assault.

At least Kuch doesn’t have to worry about the drug test anymore, since he’s unlikely to get his job back when all this is over.

Do you have a stupid story to share?
