October 19, 2003 THEATER RAGE: When a man's cell phone rang during a movie at
the cinema in Randolph, Mass., the man seated behind him asked him to
turn it off. He refused. A ROBBERY, EH? WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT: A gunman entered a
convenience store in Omaha, Neb., with robbery in mind. But the clerk,
safe behind a wall of bullet-resistant glass, flicked a switch that
locked all the doors, and called the cops. SHE HAS DRIVEN ME TO THIS! After an argument with his girlfriend, a distraught man in Montabaur, Germany, stole a forklift and refused to surrender to police who asked him to do so via loudspeaker. Instead, he lowered the fork and charged, damaging two police cars. He was arrested. A LOVELY DAY, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? British vacationers sailing off the east coast of Australia when a 10-ton humpback whale leapt out of the water and knocked town the main mast and rigging. The vessel had to be towed to shore. EVER HEAR OF A 15-MINUTE RECESS, YOUR HONOR? As a female attorney was arguing a case in a courtroom in Bordeaux, France, the judge surreptitiously lifted his robe, unzipped his pants and masturbated. No one noticed except for a reporter from La Charente Libre, a regional newspaper, who said he saw the judge "making unambiguous gestures." The judge has been suspended and is being examined by mental health professionals.
