THAT'S GRATITUDE FOR YA': When a frail, elderly neighbor told a 26-year-old woman that he would include her in his will, she responded by making him a nice apple strudel cake. Among the ingredients were pain reliever pills she thought would help hasten him to his final reward and provide her with a reward as well.
But the old man noticed the pills and called the cops.

WELL, `SORRY' JUST DON'T GET IT, LADY: A Florida prosecutor, who has a reputation for being particularly tough on drunk drivers, was arrested for - guess what - that's right, drunk driving.
Her blood-alcohol level was almost three times the legal limit, plus, she had three children in the car. She is said to be ``extremely remorseful.''

FASTER! FASTER! A car raced a train to a railroad crossing in Ganiteville, S.C. It was a tie. Five dead.

JUST BE NICE TO HIM: An enterprising teenage girl in Tokyo was making a pretty good living introducing her high school friends to a 66-year-old doctor who had sex with them.
The good doctor had relations with about 70 girls paying a total of 70 million yen before the police found out about it.

YOU SAY PICCATA; I SAY MARSALA ... BLAM! BLAM! A man and his son preparing dinner in Bluewell, W. Va., got into an argument over the best way to prepare chicken. One thing led to another; first a physical confrontation and then a gunfight.
A .22-caliber bullet went through the upper part of the son's right ear and lodged in the back of his head. The father was not hit. Both were arrested.
