Arkansas: A woman named Linda went to Arkansas
last week to visit her in-laws, and while there, went to a
store. She parked next to a car with a woman sitting in it,
her eyes closed and hands behind her head, apparently sleeping.
When Linda came out a while later, she again saw the woman,
her hands still behind her head but with her eyes open. The
woman looked very strange, so Linda tapped on the window and
said "Are you okay?"
The woman answered "I've been shot in the head, and
I am holding my brains in."
Linda didn't know what to do; so she ran into the store where
store officials called the paramedics.
They had to break into the car because the door was locked.
When they got in, they found that the woman had bread dough
on the back of her head and in her hands. A Pillsbury biscuit
canister had exploded, apparently from the heat in the car,
making a loud explosion like that of a gunshot, and hit her
in the head. When she reached back to find what it was, she
felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She passed out
from fright at first, then attempted to hold her brains in!
Johannesburg, South Africa: A man shot his 49-year-old friend
in the face, seriously wounding him, while the two practiced
shooting beer cans off each other's head.
Orange County, CA: A man goes to a party and has too much to
drink. His friends plead with him to let them take him home.
He says no - he only lives a mile away. About five blocks from
the party the police pull him over for weaving and ask him to
get out of the car and walk the line. Just as he starts, the
police radio blares out a notice of a robbery taking place in
a house just a block away. The police tell the party animal
to stay put, they will be right back - and they run down the
street to the robbery.
The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home.
When he gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed,
and to tell anyone who might come looking for him that he
has the flu and has been in bed all day.
A few hours later the police knock on the door. They ask
if Mr. X lives there and his wife says yes. They ask to see
him and she replies that he is in bed with the flu and has
been so all day. The police have his driver's license.
They ask to see his car and she asks why. They insist on
seeing his car, so she takes them to the garage and opens
the door where they find: the police car, lights still flashing.
A man walked into a Circle-K (a convenience store similar to
a 7-11), put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change.
When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun
and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk
promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and
fled-- leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount
of cash he got from the drawer? Fifteen dollars.
Once the game is over,
the king and the pawn go back into the same box.
