Three revelations from the news makes me conclude that pot, excess booze and escalating petrol prices really do make some people stupid.
In one case a Illinois man was gainfully smoking cannabis in his car while waiting for his meal at the drive-thru of a local McDonald’s. Had it been any other day or any other restaurant he might have gotten away.
Or maybe if he checked his rear mirror often... because on the particular day the car that was directly behind him in line at the drive-thru was a police cruiser.
The officer was able to smell the burning marijuana
and saw the smoke coming out of the passenger window of the car in front.
He stopped the car for a traffic violation and found a tupperware container filled with pot in the car. The offender was duly charged with possession.
You can be sure it wasn't a Happy Meal.
In another case, a Warsaw man attempted to woo his sweetheart by riding chest naked into her house on horseback. Needless to say, he had been drinking at the local watering hole and thought it was a grandiose enough gesture to sweep her off her feet.
However, when he smashed his way through the front door and into her living room, while she was home watching TV with her daughter, she called the police.
The shaken divorcee only had did to say: “I never fancied him before and certainly don't now.”
Ouch!
The poor lovelorn man, and divorced father of seven, now faces five years behind bars for aggravated breaking and entry.
No news to the state of the horse though.
And finally, to perhaps finally prove that escalating petrol prices were making loons of us all, two Kazakhstan men decided to save on trailer costs (and petrol) by shipping the Mazda 626 they had bought by transporting it back home in their van.
The German police pulled over the heavily laden white van on the highway (after they saw it lurching from side to side) - and were stunned when they found a car packed on its side in the back!
What happened was that when the car wouldn't fit in the van the proper way up - the two men decided to think out of the box. They called a few pals and loaded the silver Mazda in on its side – carefully putting a mattress underneath to stop the doors from getting scratched.
When pulled over though the men couldn't see a problem with their solution, the car did fit in the van after all.
Well, if it fits...
The Germans, however, couldn't quite see it the same way. A German police spokesman said the van and the car were confiscated and the men ordered to return with a proper transporter for the car before they would be allowed to continue the journey.
