At Least He's Consistent

A Gainesville, Florida man who was jailed for burglarizing a house has been arrested for breaking and entering the very same house.

Time for a little Kipling:

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire.


- - The Gods of the Copy-Book Headings, Rudyard Kipling

The dog returning to his vomit is also found in the Bible, in Proverbs.
