TGIF. No, Really.

TGIF

Well, here we are again—and yes, you (apparently still) can’t “shelter” stupid… just look at what has happened to these guys and gals… 

First, some ‘Odds & Ends’

In Palm Coast, Florida, Dawson McMahon, 7, was in the process of landing a fish… when he landed something he hadn’t expected… and yes, we have video… 

Which state decorates the most for Halloween? You might be surprised. Not to mention surprised that there’s been a study made of such things.  

And now for the main ‘events’:  

In New York City, New York, Chanette Lewis, 30, demonstrated a real entrepreneurial spirit… helping folks get access to five-star hotels in the Big Apple… generating some $400,000 in sales… and helping spread the word on Facebook… though, as it turned out, that was problematic… 

In Perry County, Arkansas, assistant jail administrator Abby Strange… helped inmate Sandra Rappold leave the facility for a smoke… turns out there were some problems with that… 

In Hampshire, UK, Claire Vickers, 46, and Barry Douglas, had been at a party for several hours… but decided to make a trip to Barry’s to obtain some more beverages… and along the way thought it would be fun to check in at the Aldershot Lido leisure park for a quick swim… of course, at that hour the park was closed… but that didn’t deter Claire or Barry… who were subsequently (and painfully) injured during the break in attempt on the water slide… so, then, to add insult to their injuries… what did they do?  

In New York City, New York, an unnamed 39-year-old apparently felt “the call of nature” in Times Square one recent afternoon… and opted to answer it in a most unseemly way in an all-too-public place… only to suffer from a… misfire… 

In Pelham, New Hampshire, Joseph Waelter, 51, having had too much to drink… drove off the road from the traffic circle… hit a road sign… drove across the grass of Village Green… and slammed into a tree and a rock… but it didn’t take long for law enforcement to find him… 

In the Bursa region of Turkey, Bayhan, Mutlu, 50, had gone missing… leading to the formation of a search party to try and locate him… and they (eventually) did… but not in the way they expected… 

And finally, in Springfield, Missouri, James Kertz, 38, was advertising a catalytic converter online… but perhaps he should have paid more attention to something else that was in the background of that online sale… as for that catalytic converter… 

Have a great weekend, folks!  Some of you may be off on Monday (it’s a federal holiday, after all)—but we’ll be right here waiting for you!
