Today in dumbassery

 ... in which a jerkwater passenger on a JetBlue flight to Florida picked a fight with the guy sitting in front of him.

The guy sitting in front of him was Mike Tyson.

Who finally accommodated Jerkwater by punching him in the head.

Which, of course, is exactly what Jerkwater had coming. For whatever reason, he decided it would be cute to start harassing Tyson -- and then, when harassing him wasn't enough, he threw a water bottle at him.

Let's repeat that again, slowly: He threw ... a water bottle ... at Mike Tyson.

Now, I know what some of you are going to say. You're going to say Tyson should have ignored it all. You're going to say the guy was trying to bait him and he rose to the bait, and that was stupid. 

All of this is true.

But what's also true is there's a certain undeniable pleasure in Jerkwater getting served what he ordered.

Of course, because it's Tyson, the headlines this morning are all about him punching someone on a commercial flight. That's not how the Blob would have played it, but the Blob tends to be a contrarian in these matters.

That's why the header atop this reads "Today in dumbassery." And why it's not referring to Mike Tyson.
