Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Ed Berry. This memorable mugshot was taken in January 1902, after he robbed a post office in Michigan.
This was undeniably a low point in Ed’s career but let’s hope things got better for him.
Some days you’re the windshield, and some days you’re the bug!
Put another way: it all gets better from here!
I sure hope it did!
Gosh, lol. He obviously wasn’t being very cooperative, was he.
Poor Ed! It wasn’t his finest hour! 😉
”The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has limits.”
— Albert Einstein
Mr. Berry validates Einstein’s thesis.
