Suspect thought car was arrested


A Panama City man was pulled over after police clocked him driving at a high rate of speed. When the man finally pulled over in a bank parking lot, cops smelled a strong odor of alcohol. The man had a 12 ounce can of Bud Light in his car.

The man admitted that he had "maybe six beers" and instead of handing over his driver's license, he gave the cop his credit card. So, the cop decided to do some field sobriety tests, and no big surprise, the guy failed them. He blew a .228 on the Breathalyzer (which in most states the legal limit is .08).

Police were going to have the man's car towed, but the man objected. The policeman wrote "(The suspect) advised me that the vehicle did not know what it was doing and he did not understand why it was being arrested."

Suit accuses Match.com of fraud


A Brooklyn man filed a federal suit for $5 million against Match.com accusing it of fraud and deception for failing to let subscribers know if some of their "matches" aren't active on the site.

Sean McGinn's attorney, Norah Hart, said "They are left feeling they've been completely ignored and rejected. For some people, it could affect their romantic future."

Is this guy for real? Is he just tired of rejection and taking his anger out on someone else? What if the "matches" had already found someone? What if the "matches" weren't interested in the site anymore? I wonder if he thought of any other possible reasons before launching this stupid suit.

Ah, America the beautiful, home of the brave, and home of stupid law suits.

US Airways employee helped roommate smuggle gun onto plane


The FBI has a US Airways employee in custody for helping his roommate get a gun on a plane in Philadelphia Thursday.

Roshid Milledge, a customer service agent with US Airways, switched carry-on bags with his roommate Damien Young at the gate. Young's bag had an unloaded 9mm gun in it. Apparently, Young was moving to Phoenix and asked Milledge about the procedures for transporting guns. So, Milledge agreed to carry the bag through an employee entrance so it wouldn't be screened by security.

Someone noticed the switch-a-roo and told authorities. The person also noticed that Milledge looked "fidgety." Young was already on the plane when he was questioned by a US Airways employee about the situation. The plane was about to leave, but was called back, so Young could be apprehended.

Of course when the two were questioned, Milledge said he accidentally grabbed the wrong bag and was making the switch so he could get his.

So, the question is: who in their right mind would have the balls to try and carry a gun on a plane in this paranoid time?

Man awarded $95,500 in suit against mom


A New Jersey man was awarded $95,500 plus $20,000 for medical expenses because he cut his pinky finger off when his mom tapped him on the shoulder.

John Garrity was working in his mom's garage with a miter saw when she came in and tapped him on the shoulder. If she said his name, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear her because you know saws are loud. Anyways, because he tapped him on the shoulder, he turned around and it caused his finger to move into the path of the blade. What if she said his name and actually heard her, would his finger move into the path of the blade in that situation too?

So, the State Superior Court said Garrity and his mom were each 50 percent in the wrong for the incident.

Jogger injured after using Twitter as he ran


A 23-year-old British office worker usually jogs the three miles from his home to work. However, one morning he was tweeting on his Blackberry as he was jogging. He was in the middle of posting a tweet when he ran into a low lying tree branch which caused him to crash to the pavement resulting in a black eye.

I guess you could say I feel a right Twit. One minute I was running along posting a tweet, the next I was lying on my back on the pavement in agony. The branch came out of nowhere and hit my face hard. I could only see through one eye for a couple of days afterwards, but the swelling has started to go down now. I was a laughing stock at the office. I don't even use Twitter that much to be honest. But I certainly won't be tweeting while running anymore.

After all this, he even posted about it on his twitter account. "I don't even use Twitter that much to be honest." Uh huh, and I'm the Queen of England.
