HEY, IT WAS ONLY A SUGGESTION: On their wedding day, the soon-to-be groom in Ethiopia was discussing with the bride-to-be how they would cover the considerable expense of transporting their many guests to and from the ceremony in taxi cabs. He suggested that they pawn their rings. She hit the roof. Word soon spread among the guests, and a brawl erupted. The couple was arrested and spent the night in jail. The woman called off the wedding.

HONEY! WHAT A SURPRISE! While his wife of 16 years was serving as a soldier in Iraq, a Connecticut man told a woman he was interested in that she had been killed there. He also told reporters this. The wife found out about it and returned home. She is divorcing him.

YOU AGAIN!? A woman was arrested for drunken driving in Loudon, N.H., last week. It was the third time she was arrested for DUI  in the month of February.

ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS? Animal rights activists asked officials in Slaughterville, Okla., to rename the town Veggieville. The answer was no.

THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR, THANK YOU! A man in Trondheim, Norway, purposely roared past a police car at 85 mph because he wanted to lose his drivers license. Seems he was tired of driving his girlfriend everywhere. A court granted his wish: no license for a year.
