I like that! they charge the guy with file-sharing, and all he says is "That wasn't me, that's the OTHER Paule Wilke!" Fucking brilliant! Next time I get on trouble, I'll just blame it on the other Tyler Alderson (who apparently lives in Canada, if Google is correct).

Next time I get on trouble, I'll just blame it on the other Tyler Alderson (who apparently lives in Canada, if Google is correct).

I have a buddy who we'll call John Dough. He got a call at work. It was a detective from the local police station. The detective said, "Are you John Dough?".

My buddy said, "Yes, I am".

The detective said, "Sir, we are aware that you have stolen your mother in-law's car and we will be coming to pick you up".

John Dough said, "What? I don't even have any in-laws! What are you talking about?"

The detective said, "You do work for Pepsi Bottling Company in Nowhere, Missouri, don't you?"

John Dough said, "Yes. Yes, I do!".

The detective paused as his voice changed a little bit. The detective said, "Sir you don't sound like an African American. Are you caucasion?".

John Dough said, "Yes, I'm white!".

To make a long story short, there were two John Doughs working at the same place. One of them was a black dude who had stolen a car from his family. The other was just a regular dude who happened to be white.

I guess the moral of the story is you can steal cars if you work with someone of the same name.

"I sue dead people..."

Wow! It sounds like they are sueing people in batches like in some kind of assembly line. I can see a few bad apples getting into the bundle, but it's fairly crazy for them to go through all the trouble to file the lawsuit without even taking the time to make sure a person is alive!!!!
