This is the least bad thing we've heard about Florida Man, perhaps ever.

Come again?

The uplifting part: “caretakers at the lab released it back into the Gulf of Mexico”

I'm an introvert anyways so it'd probably just sit in the bank for the most part untouched for a rainy day.

Tbh, the last person that needs that kind of money is a Boeing employee. Yes, the job security isn't fantastic, but they pay preeeetty well
