February 10, 2002 YOU'LL FIND THEM AT THE CLUB BA-DA-BING: When Italian men with
quotes between their first and last names get gunned down on city
streets, police generally have a pretty good idea of who to go
after. Raymond "Long John" Martorano,
a one-time soldier to Mafia chieftain Nicodemo "Little
Nicky" Scarfo, went down in a hail of bullets last month while
driving his Lincoln Town Car down a Philadelphia street. WE'RE WITH YA', LADIES! RIGHT ON! Two University of Maine
coeds went jogging in the nude and were arrested for violated the
state's indecent conduct law. But the law says that violators must
"knowingly expose their genitals in public" to be found
guilty. The judge let them go, saying that a naked woman can never be in
violation of that particular law because a female's "genitals"
are primarily internal. SHALL WE DANCE? CHA-CHING! So hungry was she for male
companionship, a lonely 74-year-old widow signed up for dance lessons
and got so excited at at the prospect of lessons, dancing competitions
and dance trips that she wrote checks for $247,295 in advance. She went
on one trip to South Beach with her 20-something instructor. They stayed
in separate rooms dined together and danced but one tango at the
Fontainebleau Hotel. HEY, I'M TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT! A coin-operated scale at a
shopping mall in Melbourne, Australia, insulted people it decided were
too fat. The scale produced a printout that told one woman who weighed
herself, "get off fat pig." CALL THEM RADAR DETECTOR DETECTORS: Speeding drivers in Texas
have long used radar detectors to determine whether cops are pointing
their radar guns at them. But radar detectors are illegal in the State
of Texas. Mike Pingree
