WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? In need of some female companionship, a deputy Florida attorney general, staying at a hotel in Tampa, called an escort service to have them send up a couple of ladies. After they came to his room, their pimp knocked on the door. Once inside, he beat up the man and he and the women stole about $500 and fled.

I FEEL PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY: A buffalo escaped from a stock auction at a civic center in Rapid City, S.D., and wandered into a dressing room that had a very large mirror. The animal became fascinated with its own image and spent the next two hours staring at itself.

D'OH! A woman in Brisbane, Australia, has been arrested for trying to sell Duff beer over the Internet. Duff beer exists only in the cartoon world of Homer Simpson.

PUTTING THE 'FIRE' IN FIREHOUSE: Tampa, Fla., firefighters invited two strippers from a local nudie club into the firehouse for a naked photo shoot. The ladies - Jamie and Heather - who posed on a fire engine, were at first partially clothed, but in the end were wearing only high heels. A captain was fired and four of his subordinates were suspended without pay.

SHE'S CRAZY, I TELL YA'! A Vermont woman was charged with sending harassing e-mails to herself using a former co-worker's name in order to make it appear that the other woman was unstable. The other woman had begun dating one of the alleged e-mailer's friends. This apparently created bad feelings.
