TGIF. No, Really.

TGIF

If you think you’ve had a bad week, just remember – it could have been worse. Check out what happened to these guys (and gals)… 

In Florida, a new bill introduced in the state senate proposes to take distracted driving to a whole new level… including reading, writing and applying makeup as actions that would warrant a citation… and it would make distracted driving a primary offense… meaning you could be pulled over if you’re seen doing any of the foregoing… but it also adds an activity that for some is apparently a pet peeve… 

In British Columbia, Canada, an unnamed 39-year-old woman was rushed to an emergency room… having been shot at close range with a shotgun… Bullet fragments had lodged in her chest and her abdomen… though none appeared life-threatening… But then her breathing deteriorated rapidly… and when doctors investigated they uncovered an unusual but, in this case life-threatening, development… a metal wire… sharply curved… measuring a half-chest in length… 

In Anaheim, California, have you ever wondered what happens when a car is parked in front of a fire hydrant and a fire breaks out… Wonder no more

In Aitkin, Minnesota, snowy, drift-covered roads are a proving a major problem for motorists… not only here, but across the state of Minnesota… and not only on the roads, as it turns out… 

In Gainesville, Florida, an unnamed group of individuals had broken into Buchholz High School here… with mischief apparently on their mind… They did so on a Friday evening… when a wrestling tournament was underway… which might have been a good distraction… except for this… and yes, we have video. 

In Aarhus, Denmark, an unnamed 59-year-old man was suffering from a stuffy nose… but then that progressed to a gradual loss of his sense of smell over the last two years… and so, after topical ster.oids failed to help… he sought the help of a specialist… His doctors suspected a dermoid cyst… but it turned out to be something completely unexpected… 

In East Bay, California, an unnamed driver of a 2014 Nissan Altima was pulled over on Interstate Highway 580 here about 12:30 p.m. for traveling 90-plus mph… So, guess what he was found doing just 11 minutes later? 

In Marshfield, Wisconsin, a dump truck was being used for snow removal operations… or was until this happened… and yes, we have pictures… 

In Tobyhanna, New York, Eugene Pena reportedly broke into the home of his cousin, Katelin Hernandez, 19, one evening while she was babysitting… and made off with about $1,500… This was reported to police… who subsequently arrested Eugene at a Wal-Mart in East Stroudsburg… with $1,272 “in denominations consistent” with what had been reported… and while in custody Eugene “provided a narrative” to police… except that, after he was put in a holding cell, Eugene began to yell from that holding cell that he wanted to tell the truth… which, as it turns out, was much stranger than the fiction… 

And finally, in Camp Hill Borough, Pennsylvania, two as-yet-unnamed men, dressed in all black and wearing black masks and gloves, went to enter the Peoples Bank here with robbery on their mind… only to find their efforts thwarted by… well, see for yourself

Have a great weekend, folks!
