From the 'Doesn't Everyone In The United States Do It' Department:

English Only at Philly Cheesesteak Joint

Bistec con queso? Not at Geno's Steaks. One of Philadelphia's best-known cheesesteak joints has posted small signs telling customers, "This Is AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING 'SPEAK ENGLISH.'"

This Is AMERICA - there is nothing wrong with him requiring that!!!

Juntos, a Hispanic neighborhood organization, said it plans to send people to Geno's to try to order in Spanish and may pursue court action, depending on what happens.

This Is AMERICA - there is something wrong with that!!!!!!





From the Stupid Department:

How to get caught: Leave phone at scene. Call it.
Suspect in Skittles, Starburst heist calls to arrange to retrieve cell phone

Burglars who stole $30 worth of Skittles and Starburst candy from a Little League concession stand left behind an incriminating piece of evidence, a cell phone. After the theft on Saturday night, the phone's owner called the phone and identified himself.

Mitchell Scudder, 19, and Brian Current, 21, are charged in the theft. When officers went to Scudder's door, he was chewing on some Skittles. Confiscated from the house were 20 bags of candy and another 20 packages found in a backpack.

Now there is a brain trust. If he could afford a cell phone, you would think he would be able to buy candy.

This is what is wrong with the No Child Left Behind Act. These two should still be in the third grade!!!!

Mom asks son to sell pot for bail
Iowa woman's phone call leads to added charge for her, one for offspring

Elaine Baker made a call to her son, asking him to sell marijuana stashed in a refrigerator and post bond. The call was monitored by police.

Baker's son, Austin Tasich, was charged with possession of a controlled substance. Baker was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.

It's time we required an IQ test for everyone that is of child bearing age. A clear case for the promotion of birth control!!!





From the Odd Department:

Seagull hit by pitch
Bird recovers after unfortunate flight between mound and home plate



During Sunday's Triple-A game between the Buffalo Bisons and the Durham Bulls, Durham reliever Jason Childers released the ball and the seagull was struck by a pitch. Once play was stopped the seagull was carried off the field by a player and later flew away.

Now that seagull is a true Durham Bulls fan. The Bisons lost 3-2 in 16 innings thanks in part to the key timing of the seagull.





From the Even Odder Department:

Boat sails itself from Costa Rica to Hawaii
33-foot sloop abandoned with engine trouble makes 4,700-mile voyage solo

It is about 4,700 miles from Costa Rica to Hilo.

The owner, a Southern California man, abandoned the sloop after experiencing engine trouble and severe weather off Costa Rica. He was rescued by a passing boat. The owner was contacted by Coast Guard officials Tuesday and informed of the stunning discovery. "He had to pull over because he was driving," Delaney said. "He was very surprised and pleased."



Surprised? Yes. Pleased? No.

Hmmm... motor quits, it is however a sailboat, oh yes severe weather, but there just happened to be another boat in the severe weather just passing by.

Yeah, and I still have that ocean front property in Kansas I'll sell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do I smell insurance scam here?
