IF HE ONLY HAD A BRAIN!  11/21/08

The proprietor of a metal recycling business in BENTONVILLE, ARK was suspicious of a group of young people who wanted to sell him a 62.5 pound chunk of metal, so he convinced them it was only lead and gave them thirty bucks for it. Turns out, the hunk of metal was actually pure silver worth about 15-grand. So, why did the crooks take thirty bucks for it? Seems they needed money for gas.

A mother was watching the news when they ran a surveillance video of two teenagers robbing a Gas and Go station in MILWAUKEE. The teens… were her kids. She called cops and ratted out her 16-year-old son and 17-year-old daughter. Cops say she’s a hero.

Tracy Pioggia learned an important lesson in SPRINGFIELD, MASS recently: It’s always a good idea to make sure your license tags are up to date. Especially if you’re driving around with 78 marijuana plants in your car. Cops said she didn’t even bother to put them in the trunk. They were right out in the open.

A 51-year-old guy got cut off by another driver in LINCOLN, NEBRASKA and wasn’t happy about it. Both cars stopped. The guy got out of his car... and threw an ax at the other driver. It smashed through the window and hit the other driver in the ribs. Paul Bunyan is now off to jail for 37 days.
➢    I'm still trying to figure out why he had an ax in his car. Nebraska ain't exactly forest territory.

…but wait, there’s more… In PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON – Witnesses say a 32-year-old man was driving at a high rate of speed and passing other cars when he threw a wrench at one of them for no apparent reason.  The tool broke the other car’s driver’s-side window and hit the driver on his left shoulder. Mr. Badwrench has been jailed on assault charges.
➢    First the ax guy and now this. This keeps up and someone will make a video game out of it. Grand Theft Auto: Sears Craftsman Edition.
➢    The reason he threw it? Must have thought the other driver was some kind of nut.
