U. F. O.’s! (Unsual Facts & Oddities)!
TGIF!
Well, I don’t mind telling you, this has been a very strange week for us hasn’t it? From love to hate, with Valentine’s Day to abuse, and from life to death, with will it kill us or make us all better if we take a nap, we’ve had it all!
Since I am not here on the week-ends, unless it would be something Really Enormous, I thought maybe I should lead us into the week-end with an unusual facts & oddities day, nothing like a little laughter to get you through that last Grueling day of work before it is fun, fun, fun for a couple of days!
I’ve come across these unusual facts & oddities in my daily routines, they are in no particular order so, lets get started!
- Henry Smith, was arrested moments after returning home with a stolen stereo. His error was having tattooed on his forehead in large capital letters the words “Henry Smith.” His lawyer told the court: “My client is not a very bright young man.”!
- A very intelligent would be bomber, rang police to deliver a bomb threat, but became so agitated about the mounting cost of the call that he began screaming “Call me back!” and left his phone number!!
- This smart gentleman used as his getaway vehicle a van with his name and phone number painted in foot-high letters on the side!!!
- A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his arm in two places. Till that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman.!!!!
- A hunter, who was also a poacher, shot a stag standing above him on an overhanging rock — and was killed instantly when it fell on him!!!!!
- A 9-year-old boy in Virginia received a one-day suspension under his elementary school’s drug policy last week – for Certs! He allegedly told a classmate that the mints would make him “jump higher.”And a student in West Virginia was suspended for three days for giving a classmate a cough drop. The school principal reiterated the school’s “zero-tolerance” policy…not to be confused with the “zero-intelligence” policy!!!!!!
- A man in Italy was hospitalized after swallowing 46 teaspoons, 2 cigarette lighters, and a pair of salad tongs!!!!!!!
- A company trying to continue its five-year perfect safety record showed its workers a film aimed at encouraging the use of safety goggles on the job. According to Industrial Machinery News, the film’s depiction of gory industrial accidents was so graphic that twenty-five workers suffered minor injuries in their rush to leave the screening room. Thirteen others fainted, and one man required seven stitches after he cut his head falling off a chair while watching the film!!!!!!!!
- A man in Johannesburg, South Africa, shot his 49-year-old friend in the face, seriously wounding him, while the two practiced shooting beer cans off each other’s head!!!!!!!!!
And last but certainly not least!! - A suffering man mistook a tube of superglue for his hemorrhoid cream and glued his buttocks together!!!!!!!!!!
