March 4, 2001 A POPULAR NEIGHBORHOOD MOM: When she saw that three teenage
boys were visiting her daughter, a 33-year-old Massachusetts woman put
on a see-through negligee and invited the lads into her bedroom for a
bit of slap and tickle, police say. They all got into her bed, and she
allowed two of them to fondle her breasts before having sex with the
oldest boy, age 15, police said. DAMN CHEAP FOREIGN IMPORTS: A service technician at a
Rolls-Royce dealership filled a brand-new $360,000 Corniche S
convertible with gas for the first time, and hit the switch to close all
the windows at the same time. The vehicle exploded. The blast blew out
all the windows, damaged the interior of the car, and temporarily
impaired the technician's hearing. SCALPEL! FORCEPS! OH NO! Doctors at a New York Hospital,
preparing to remove a blood clot from inside a man's head, put the X-ray
backward on the viewing screen, and so operated on the wrong side of his
brain. They had to go back in and operate on the right side the next
day. HE CLEARLY NEEDED HELP IN MATH: A Pittsburgh high school
student who worked at a supermarket checkout line offered two new
teachers a deal: sharply reduced grocery prices in exchange for good
grades. The teachers agreed. OH, HE'S LEARNED HIS LESSON ALL RIGHT: In order to run off
with his girlfriend, Hasan Feelom, an Iranian, killed his wife, Fatemeh,
and their daughter, but was caught before he got very far. He was
hanged. Under Islamic law, Fatemeh's parents could have pardoned him,
but they were not so inclined.
