Twelve men tossed dirt at a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Austin, TX federal courthouse. The problem is, only 11 of them had been invited: the 12th man was lawyer George Lobb, who showed up with his own hard helmet and shovel. Not wanting to insult an important dignitary, organizers didn't ask who he was, and since he looked important enough they let him line up for the photo-op with the senators and other politicians. Since his home-brought shovel didn't match the rest, he was handed one of the ceremonial matching shovels that everyone got. Improv Everywhere has not claimed responsibility, nor has the likes of Adbusters or other culture jammers, so my only guess is this guy has balls of steel and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Via.
