Germany: How awkward could this have been! A woman in Germany called police after hearing strange sounds coming from her bedroom, only to turn beet red when officers discovered that her vibrator had accidentally turned on in a drawer. “The tenant’s face abruptly changed color,” a police spokesman said. “The officers wished her a nice evening and left.”
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ….
California: The owner of a car wash said he was shocked when IRS agents came to his business and demanded he pay up what he owes — four cents. As it turned out Aaron Zeff had failed to pay the handful of pennies back in 2006. But with penalties and interest he now owes $202.35.
Zounds!
Hollywood, FL: She couldn’t have made it easier for cops. Rebekah Tracht-Kader, 21, was pulled over by officers, who said her eyes were bloodshot and she smelled of booze and marijuana. They searched her car and found some excellent evidence: a green plastic box helpfully labeled “Rebekah’s Pot.”
Sounds like a “good” search…
India: An elephant hired for a wedding in India went berserk and trampled a line of 20 limos, causing nearly $350,000 worth of damage. It also rampaged through a shopping mall before handlers corralled it.
Tusk, tusk!
Daytona Beach, FL: Their cellphones may lead to jail cells. Two Florida teenagers who have a lot to learn about being successful thieves were arrested after an emergency dispatcher in Daytona Beach overheard them planning to break into cars. One of them, it seems, accidentally pressed a preset button that dials 911 while they were discussing which cars to target.
Criminals are stupid. That’s why they get caught!
The Republic of Georgia: There is a fine line between the gulag and a monastic life. The Republic of Georgia is mulling offering its criminals the option of going to jail or joining a monastery. Only a select few will get the choice, though the idea was hatched to help ease prison overcrowding.
AMEN.
I’m trying to work out how you’d decide whether a criminal should be sentenced to a monastery rather than prison…
