January 16, 2005 SO HE'S AN EXPERT ON THE SUBJECT: A lawyer in McKean, Pa., vigorously defended a client against a charge of drunken driving. Then, he got into his car and was promptly arrested for drunken driving. WHAT GOOD IS IT IF YOU CAN'T BRAG? A Gettysburg, Pa., teenager
and one of his friends borrowed his father's airplane from the family's
private airstrip, took it aloft and flew it over his high school, as his
friend pelted it with eggs. HOLD ON, I'M THE VICTIM HERE! Three men kidnapped a guy who was eating with his girlfriend in Walker, Wyo., and said they owed them $800. (For drugs, no doubt.) The girlfriend called the cops who instructed her to meet them with the ransom. They nabbed the kidnappers, but also arrested the kidnap victim. Outstanding warrant. NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, BUT DRIVER WAS: When the driver got out of the school bus, an 11-year-old boy in Norton Shores, Mich., locked him out and took the vehicle for a joyride, knocking down mailboxes and hitting two utility poles before coming to a halt two miles away. TOUCHDOWN! YES! BOOYAH! A house painter working at an apartment complex in Florence, Ala., looked up and saw a small dog falling from a fifth-floor balcony heading right for him. He says he caught the animal "like a football.'' Fortunately, he resisted the urge to slam the dog down on the ground in celebration.
