August 10, 2003 AND DON'T TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHO I AM: A man in Bonn, Germany,
tried to blackmail a business owner, saying he would report the guy to
the tax collector unless he forked over $34,000. NOW THAT'S A FIGHT: A group of British soldiers got into a bar brawl in Medicine Hat, Alberta, with the locals, and it involved so many people that it spilled outside and blocked traffic, causing the eastbound side of the Trans-Canada Highway to be shut down. Order was eventually restored. OR, THE COMMONWEALTH OF GOOFY: Officials in the island of
Malta have ordered the only airport to shut down three times a day so
that fireworks can be set off in nearby towns for the edification of
tourists. HEY, YOU LOOK DIFFERENT: A murderer who is locked up in a New York prison wants to get a sex change operation, and he has requested that the taxpayers fork over the $500,000 it will cost. If granted, he will do his 50-years-to-life sentence in a women's prison. He says he is "a girl inside." A MENACE ON AND OFF THE ROAD: A gardener in Berlin was arrested for drunk driving because he had swilled down a bottle of wine before he got on his riding lawnmower and cut a neighbor's grass. He will not be allowed to drive anything for three months.
