Darwin Award
May 4, 2010Finally, THE WINNER!!!: (Arkansas Democrat Gazette):
Two local men were injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday. Woodruff County deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock, were returning to Des Arc after a frog catching trip. On an overcast Sunday night, Poole’s pickup truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the 22 caliber bullets from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet, the headlights again began to operate properly, and the two men proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge.
After traveling approximately 20 miles, and just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged, and struck Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved sharply right, exiting the pavement, and striking a tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident, but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his testicles, which will never operate as intended. Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released. “Thank God we weren’t on that bridge when Thurston shot his n**s off, or we might both be dead,” stated Wallis.
“I’ve been a trooper for 10 years in this part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can’t believe that those two would admit how this accident happened,” said Snyder.
Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia ( Poole’s wife), asked how many frogs the boys had caught and did anyone get them from the truck. Priorities, after all!!
Though Poole and Wallis did not die as a result of their misadventure as normally required by Darwin Award Official Rules, it can be argued that Poole did, in fact, effectively remove himself from the gene pool.

OREGON KIDS–HEALTHIEST IN THE U.S???

MURDER-SUICIDE–1971/2010???
May 4, 2010DNA technology may have solved a 1971 Klamath County murder this month. But the suspect killed himself. OSP says the now-64-year old man took his own life after officers showed up at his house with a warrant for his DNA. 19-year old Joyce Cross was raped and her skull crushed in 1971. Semen samples from her clothing were saved, so a cold-case unit began looking into the killing anew in 2008. In 2009, an OSP detective saw an old man open a bag of peanuts with his teeth at a baseball game. He was a 1971 suspect. The DNA on that peanut bag matched the 1971 evidence. Murder, 1971–Suicide, 2010???

BEAVERS IN THE NEWS
April 30, 2010The city of Newberg may kill busy beavers that are damming up a creek on the edge of town. Public works people say the dams have plugged up a culvert, which could erode, and eventually collapse a nearby road. Some area teens have started a petition drive against the town’s plan to trap the beavers underwater, which would drown them. The dilemma has been given to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

April 30, 2010A Portland newspaper says police paid an informant to have sex with a prostitute. The story in the Portland Mercury says police used 150 dollars from their evidence fund for the informant to get the goods on a suspected prostitute by engaging in a sex act for money–the police’s money. Arrest reports show that the po-po nailed the woman shortly after her motel room hook-up with the informant. A Portland Police spokeswoman says police don’t really have rules for using evidence money in prostitution cases, but she says, after all, they use evidence money to buy drugs before arresting dealers…………..

The Tea Party
April 30, 2010To all the Parents and Grandparents out there !!!!
When I was a toddler, someone had given me a little Tea Set as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of “tea” which was just water, of course.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch his little Princess bring him a cup of tea, because it was, “Just the cutest thing!”
My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy.
She watches him drink it up and then says, “Did it ever occur to you that the only place that a toddler can reach to get water is the toilet?”
THE END (I hear you laughing!)
