Coach Arrested for Allegedly Driving Nude


Lions Assistant Arrested Twice in Past Two Weeks


DEARBORN, Mich. - A Detroit Lions assistant coach was arrested twice in the past two weeks - once while police say he was driving nude and a week later on suspicion of drunken driving.

Police in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn said Joe Cullen, who coaches the team's defensive line, was pulled over and ticketed on suspicion of indecent and obscene conduct.

The ticket does not provide any other information why Cullen allegedly was nude. The Lions said alcohol was involved.

Then, on Sept. 1, police stopped his 2006 Ford Explorer and determined he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.12 percent, court records show. The legal limit for drivers in Michigan in 0.08 percent.

Cullen, who lives in Dearborn, posted bond in both misdemeanor cases and was coaching at Wednesday's practice.

The 38-year-old, who was hired from the University of Illinois, issued a statement Wednesday to apologize.

I love how it is always brushed away because alcohol is involved!
More often than naught, if you drink the clothes usually don't come off unless there is another person there and then you certainly would not be driving









Eyeless driver arrested in the U.K.


There are plenty of friends out there. Some are closer than family and others are mere acquaintances.

For Omed Aziz, his friend was willing to risk his life, Aziz's life and a few other late night motorists in an effort to give Aziz a piece of his world back.

Omed Aziz lost both of his eyes during an explosion in Iraq. He also left behind a few digits from his hands, most of his hearing and now suffers from severe tremors in his legs.

With that in mind, you could image the Oldbury police's surprise when they found Aziz driving a Peugeot in the wrong lane, while taking direction from his friend in the passenger seat.

Although legally blind and certainly impaired, the police reported that Aziz masterfully made his way around a few corners and a roundabout, before crossing into oncoming traffic.

Aziz now holds the distinction of being the first blind motorist ever convicted of reckless driving in the U.K., while his co-pilot is awaiting trial for aiding and abetting dangerous driving.

This guy may be the first blind motorist ever convicted of reckless driving but he's not the first blind motorist, I see a lot of them every day!!!!
Wait their steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car maybe it was unintentional!









Dead Body Travels 1,000 Miles on Amtrak

CHICAGO - An Amtrak passenger traveling with her ailing father waited nearly 23 hours and about 1,000 miles to tell authorities he had died so she could avoid the cost of shipping the body home, police said.




The train had reached Chicago when Daniel Stepanovich's daughter told officials that he had died in a sleeper car on Sunday evening, about the time the train was pulling into Glenwood Springs, Colo., said Chicago Police spokeswoman Jo Ann Taylor.

The woman told police she couldn't afford to ship his body home. She said Stepanovich, 80, suffered from lung and brain cancer.

Stepanovich was pronounced dead of natural causes on Tuesday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. He had lived in Hammond, Ind. His daughter, who was not identified, lives in the Chicago suburb of Grayslake.

Officials were not sure when the two boarded the the California Zephyr, which travels from Emeryville, Calif., to Chicago.

Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said he couldn't recall a situation in which a passenger's death went unreported for so long.


Ah the gentle swaying of the car and the clickity clack trust me this guy was in heaven before he died.

As for the daughter, he had a ticket to ride and it doesn't say dead or alive on that ticket so more power to her.

The late Dad could be proud of his daughter!!!!








All aboard the leering car



Seattle-area train commuters get daily glimpse of male nude beach

WOODWAY, Wash. - It happens in a flash as the afternoon Sounder trains carry commuters north from Seattle to Everett — a glance at an otherwise secluded beach frequented by mostly gay men who take it all off.


"Every day we look outside the train and count how many are there in their birthday suits," said Sarah Thompson of Edmonds, a project manager. "It's a plus for riding the train. It's an added bonus. It's the entertainment factor for the Sounder."




"All the women pile themselves up against the window," said Steve Barber, a rider who works for King County law enforcement. "It's comic relief."

As the train crosses from King County to Snohomish County and passes the huge tanks at a roofing and paving plant, books close and fingers cease their tapping at laptop keyboards as attention is focused through the shoreside windows.

‘Its definitely worth it’
"It's just a fleeting maybe four or five seconds, but it's definitely worth it," said Cecile Bagrow of Edmonds.

"Most of the time we have to get up out of our seats to look out the window," Thompson said. "It depends on who's on the train. Sometimes we get kind of rowdy about it."

Some men recline on towels. Others stroll this way and that, stand gazing out at the water, scamper for cover, leap into full frontal view in an apparent effort to shock the riders or just wave at the train.

"There's an average of six a day," Thompson said. "Sometimes there's more, sometimes less. Sometimes we're disappointed because there aren't any."

I hope when all the women rush to one side of the train it doesn't roll off the tracks.

I pity the poor person who has a window seat and is unaware they are about to be trampled by crazed women!!!!









Speeding Driver Blames Lack of Goats

OTTAWA - A Swiss driver caught speeding in Canada explained that he had been taking advantage of the ability to drive fast without hitting a goat, police said on Wednesday.


The driver was caught traveling 100 mph in a 100 km/hr zone in eastern Ontario Sunday.

"A motorist from Switzerland, used to driving around hills and mountains, takes advantage of the ability to go faster without risking hitting a goat," read the traffic officer's notes of the incident.

Local police said it was the first time they had ever heard of such an excuse.

"I've never been to Switzerland but obviously they must have a problem with that there," said police spokesman Joel Doiron, adding that in his 20 years of service he had never found a goat on the highways of eastern Ontario.

The Swiss driver's imaginative excuse did him little good. Police issued him a speeding ticket equal to $330 U.S. dollars.


This was good but I don't think the Nevada Highway Patrol would buy it either so I am still searching for a good one!!!!!!!!!!!

I used the one about trying to avoid the pigs was the reason I was speeding.



That was one expensive ticket let me tell you!!!!!!!!




Tuesday's here and now we are moving on to Wednesday for all the news you can use.
