    Sample stories
  • Drunk AND blind:

    German police officers stopped a car which was weaving very slowly down a street and found the driver not only drunk, but blind as well. The 33-year old man managed to get the car out of a school parking lot and 50 feet up the street before locals called the police. The man said he had always wanted to try driving, so he borrowed his friend's car after having a few drinks and started driving through the town of Mainz. The man said he was being extremely careful and assured officers that he was taking it in stages, driving a couple of feet before stopping, getting out and walking around the car with his arms outstretched to check for obstacles. An alcohol test found him three times over the limit.(Ananova)
    ...so that's why there's braille at ATM machines!

  • Fake Penis used for urine test:

    A heroin addict with 4 months to go on probation for a burglary tried to use a fake penis containing someone else's urine for a mandatory twice-weekly urinalysis. With a Bexar County probation department technician watching, Micah Sheehan, 37, squeezed the fake penis, discharging (cold)urine in multiple directions. Then he fumbled it and it fell out of his shorts. And if that weren't enough, the technician said that the bleached-pink penis was a different color than Sheehan's skin. Sheehan will most likely be sent to prison to finish out the 10 year burglary sentence for which he was on probation.(APBnews)
    ...at least he's not creating more little Micah's..

  • Outré law of the week:

    New Hampshire - intersection catch-22:
    "Any vehicles meeting at an intersection must stop. Each must wait for the other to pass. Neither can proceed until the other is gone."
    ...been here 15 years now and I don't think that stubborn S.O.B. is ever gonna move!
