Farting leads to stabbing

Several friends were staying in a hotel in Waco, TX. Nothing wrong with this picture, right? They were doing their one thing: one was taking a shower, two were in the room eating, and the others were outside yacking on their cell phones. Nothing wrong yet, right?

Well, one of the guys that was eating got the farts and the guy who was eating with him didn't appreciate it. Now, typically guys joke about farting and have farting contests, so why would this one do what he did I have no idea unless the farts made the wallpaper peel off the walls. A knife was pull out and the farting guy was stabbed because of his stinkiness.

Man pleads guilty in fraud against U.S. Veterans Affairs Department

Who really thinks they can get away with committing fraud against the government? Well, AIG and Wall Street think they have, but that's not the point. No one can really pull the wool over the government's eyes except in the movies. Even then, the guys are always caught in the end.

An Idaho man conned the U.S. Veterans Affairs Department out of $1.5 million ever since 1976. He served in the Air Force from 1969-1975 and retired in 1976. The year he retired, he claimed that he had no use in either leg anymore. So, the government started paying him disability.

Read the rest of the story here to see what this guy did and how he got caught.

$1,200 in Victoria's Secret lip gloss stolen

The Victoria's Secret store in a Nanuet Mall in New York had $1,200 worth of lip gloss stolen. Apparently shoplifting has been on the rise lately (which I'm sure is due partly to the economy). But, 74 tubes of this lip gloss sprouted legs and walked off. The article says that this Victoria's Secret store has become popular with shoplifting in the area. I guess since people can't afford to go out, they have to have fun in the house somehow, right?

Need for bathroom gets man felony charge

Joao Correa was on a Delta flight from Honduras to Atlanta when he really needed to go to the bathroom. Apparently the dinner from the night before wasn't sitting well with him.

He was sitting in coach (cattle class), but the aisle for the bathroom for that section was blocked by a beverage cart. The only available bathroom was in business class. He made his way up to the business class bathroom when the flight attendant blocked his path with her arm. This is where you get two different versions of the story depending on who you talk to. He says he leaned on her arm for support. She says he bent it backwards and twisted it.

The pilot was called out and gave Correa permission to use the business class bathroom (because you know people in business class don't want coach class koodies).

Correa was arrested once the flight landed in Atlanta and was slapped with a felony assault charge.

Pastor steals $85k from church for botox

Rev. William Blasingame, 66, was the pastor of St. Paul's Memorial Episcopal Church for more than 30 years. Blasingame started to steal from his congregation in 2005 to pay for plastic surgery, fancy clothes, and his car insurance. He took the money from the Friends of St. Paul's foundation--which was set up for maintenance of the Victorian gothic church.

You've got to read the article in The New York Post and take a look at the photos. Ol' boy looks like Dr. Fredric Brandt don't he?

Man goes naked so he can be deported

A man in Florida decided to run down a street naked in hopes of being deported back to Mexico. He was drunk and got into a fight with his boyfriend. Cops were called in and told the man to leave so he could cool off. The man said he wanted to go to jail because he's an illegal alien, and would punch a cop if it meant he could go back to Mexico.

Usually Mexicans are coming into the U.S. illegally, but this one wants to go back? Couldn't he go back the way he came?

Man cleans with gasoline while smoking

We all see the signs at gas stations that you should NOT smoke while you're near the pumps. So, what makes you think you can do this at home? Everyone knows that it's the fumes that's combustible. So, you should not have any kind of fire anywhere near gas.

However, that didn't stop a Wisconsin man from doing it. The man threw his lit cigarette into a pile of clothes and cushions that were soaked with gas. The fire in his apartment forced his neighbors to evacuate their homes. He didn't even bother pulling the fire alarm! He just yelled "fire" a couple of times and then walked to the local police department to ask for help.

Genius!

Another 911 call over food

A Texas woman wasn't happy that she didn't get extra shrimp in her shrimp fried rice. So, what did she think to do? Did she mention this to the restaurant employee or the manager? Nope. She called 911.

So, I guess the cops have nothing better to do than to respond to idiot calls, right?
