GUY STABS HIMSELF IN THE LEG TO AVOID GOING TO WORK! DUDE! YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY YOU EVEN GOT A JOB!

While the unemployed are scrambling to find a job in the recessionary market, one man is going to great lengths to play hooky -- stabbing himself in the leg to avoid work.
Aaron Siebers, 29, admitted he knifed himself in the leg because he didn’t want to go to work his shift at a Blockbuster Video Store in the Colorado town of Edgewater, reported the Denver Post.

Siebers showed up at Blockbuster Monday night with a deep leg wound and several minor slashes on his face and stomach, Steve Davis, spokesman for the Edgewater Police Department told the paper.

He accused a Hispanic trio, clad in all-black, of robbing him and then stabbing him outside the local Target.

Police launched a manhunt with search dogs to find the assailants. Meanwhile, Siebers was rushed to Saint Anthony’s hospital and received several stitches to seal up his wound.

Investigators reviewed the surveillance cameras at Target – the apparent scene of the crime – but found that no such attack had taken place.

After further questioning by the police, Siebers confessed he stabbed himself because he didn’t want to go to work.

According to The Smoking Gun, Siebers had been skateboarding when he fell and tore his uniform. Not wanting to get in trouble, he faked the assault.

The ill-conceived plot was enough to land Siebers in jail, where he now faces charges for false reporting and obstructing the police.
