THAT'S 12 OR LESS! WHAP! GET IT? WHAP! A woman took 13 items into a 12-items-or-fewer express checkout lane at a Massachusetts supermarket, and the woman behind her in line took issue in no uncertain terms.     
When the 13-item woman got outside, the other woman beat her up.     

A LITTLE HELP HERE! A 8-month-old female moose climbed onto the deck of a home in Anchorage, Alaska, then stepped over a low railing onto the next-door roof of a shed where flowers are stored. But the fiberglass roof couldn't support the 400-pound animal, and three of her legs punched through. The beast dangled 8 feet off the ground for the next three hours until rescuers got her out.     
She was last seen walking gingerly back into the forest.     

AND ANYWAY, IT WAS FAR MORE INTERESTING: A candidate for governor of Ohio was being interviewed on a Cleveland radio station, when his hosts interrupted the discussion to judge the annual Breast Fest contest. Five women came in to have their boobies examined and compared. The candidate claimed he had to wait until the contest was over to leave because he didn't want to make a scene.     
"It was beyond my control," he said.     

BLASPHEMOUS? WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THAT? An architecture student at Penn State University turned a bathroom stall into a Catholic confessional booth complete with red velvet curtains, a red light and a side window with a metal screen. He received an "A" for the class project.    
In response to complaints, he said he did not mean for it to be blasphemous.    

HEY DRIVER, YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY: A 15-year-old boy and two adults ordered a limousine to pick them up in Buffalo, N.Y., and gave the number of a stolen credit card. Unfortunately for them, the rightful owner of the credit card had already reported the theft. 
So a plainclothes police officer replaced the driver, picked up the suspects in the limo and drove them to jail.
