TIL Key West had an incredibly corrupt fire chief in the 70s. His name was "Bum" Farto, and not for the reason you would expect.
In 1975, Bum Farto had it all. A dead body and a drug deal gone wrong changed everything.
You're viewing a single thread.
“He used to hang around the old No. 1 fire department on Greene Street all the time and the firemen started calling him ‘the little bum,’” one friend told The Miami Herald in 1976. “He was always bumming things—asking for favors, like little kids do.”
See? You'd think a guy named Farto would have that nickname by the time he was 4 for the much more obvious reason.
But also, it's an interesting article.
I'm sure he farto a loto too
Yeah sorry friend, didn’t mean to spoil the surprise. Was hoping the voteocracy would decide whether people were interested in the spoiler or not 😅
Nah, it's fine. I probably should have spoiled it myself to make it less clickbaitey.
