A Texas man is suing 1-800-Flowers for $1 million after a thank you note from the web florist outed him as an adulterer. Leroy Greer specifically asked 1-800-Flowers not to send him a receipt for the cuddly stuffed animal and dozen long stemmed roses he ordered for his mistress. Despite his request, 1-800-Flowers sent a thank you note to his house several months later, prompting his wife to ask who the hell got flowers. She called 1-800-Flowers, which gladly faxed her a copy of Leroy's order form that included the following message meant for his mistress: "Just wanted to say I love you and you mean the world to me! -Leroy."
Not really a Darwin unless he gets run over by steam roller while pulling the pin on a live hand grenade thats taped to his forehead with fly paper though.

I don't know if this qualifies as Darwinian. I mean it's not like he didn't think he was leaving a paper trail. That's why he told them not to send him anything so you can't claim he's stupid just based on this evidence alone. Also, it's not like what he did was illegal. Immoral yes, illegal no.
Ohhh, that's a burn. Serves him right. Adultery is one my pet peeves.
Aren't Darwin Awards handed out to people who died doing something dumb, though?
You don't have to die. It's awarded for contribution to the human gene pool by removing yourself from it by doing something stupid. So therefore if what you did rendered yourself sterile but didn't kill yourself, you would still be eligible. Personally I think those are the best stories where the nominee doesn't die. One story involved a guy here in Calgary who was a nominee for not turning on the safety on his gun. Needless to say when he tried to stuff it in his pants robber-style he shot off his testicles among other things. He survived though!

He could have gone to a local florist shop and bought the flowers and delivered them himself.
Ordering something on line opens the possibility of a paper trail.
This is a similar story to the one about the Edmonton Oiler who booked a Hawaii holiday with his mistress, claiming he was going somewhere else, and the travel agent, a star-struck do-gooder, delivered the travel documents to his house.
