September 22, 2002 HOLD ON, I'VE CHANGED MY MIND AGAIN! A customer refused to take the $10 lottery ticket which had been rung up at a store in Pocono Pines, Pa., so the clerk bought it. She won $400,000. TAKE THAT, WHAP! Concerned that a thug was frightening a young cashier he was robbing in a Pennsylvania store, an an 85-year-old female customer beat the man with her cane causing him to flee. I HATE TO BE ALONE, IS THAT SO WRONG? A New York judge was
assigned 24-hour NYPD bodyguards after she received threatening letters
in 1999. Subsequently, every time the security detail was scheduled to
end and every time there as a terror alert, more letters would
appear. WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE? A jail inmate in Forrest City,
Ark., seeking a night out from the lockup, escaped and returned
undetected through a window he had managed to pry open. WHAT IS THAT AWFUL SOUND, DUDE? In an effort to halt the wave
of fistfights involving aggressive young thugs loitering in the Boston
subway system after school, officials have piped in show tunes and the
music of George Gershwin and John Philip Sousa over the loudspeakers.
