THE PLONKER: Gibson Cook, 57.
THE PLACE: Dillon, South Carolina, U.S.A.
THE PREDICAMENT: Cook was trapped for 12 hours beneath a giant trash bin at a landfill after he climbed underneath in a bid to steal about $10 worth of copper.
When workers found him, all they saw were his legs sticking out from beneath the bin.
THE PUNISHMENT: Cook has been charged with trespassing and petty larceny.
He’s been jailed and is currently awaiting a bond hearing although it's unclear if he has an attorney.
Say, wait a minute. Doesn’t that photo of Cook remind you of our very own IVD?...
