February 1, 2004 CALL HIM MR. SMOOTH: A man broke into a liquor store in
Clayton, Mo., through a window, and, once inside, was observed on surveillance
video walking face-first into a door and falling down. AND MAYBE HE'LL ACHIEVE NIRVANA: During an argument with his
wife over her drinking, a Houston man hauled off and slapped her in the
face. HA HA, THEY'LL NEVER GET ME NOW: His face covered with a bandanna and wearing a jacket, knit hat and gloves, an ex-convict robbed a convenience store in Bakersfield, Calif., at gunpoint. After fleeing, he dumped his disguise and the weapon in the back of a nearby house. Unfortunately, he forgot to take his county jail identification card out of the jacket pocket. It had his picture and everything. THEN THE FIGHT STOPPED AND A HOCKEY GAME BROKE OUT: Two professional hockey teams got into four full-fledged brawls on the ice, which put so many players in the penalty box that the contest had to be ended early because there weren't enough of them left to continue the game. PUTTING AN END TO IT ONCE AND FOR ALL: A 70-year-old woman in Spinazzola, Italy, had long harbored a resentment against her husband because she never had a child. They had reportedly brawled daily for many years. Finally, she took a heavy bathroom brush and beat him to death.
