February 13, 2005 OK, HE'S SWERVING; WAIT, HE'S WEAVING: A North Carolina high
school student used his cellphone to alert authorities that his
schoolbus driver was drinking on the job. LUCKY FOR YOU: A 64-year-old woman had the bad fortune of
being smacked on the head with a beer bottle in a Florida barroom. But
her luck changed when doctors examined her. They found a brain tumor
that could well have killed her, had it not been discovered. THEY MUST HAVE HAD A GOOD LAWYER: Two men standing in line to get into a courthouse in New York started telling lawyer jokes. ("How do you tell when a lawyer is lying? His lips are moving.'') A lawyer further up the line heard them, and failed to see the humor. He asked them to stop. They didn't. So he had them arrested for disorderly conduct. The charges were later dismissed. SHE JUST GOT SICK OF ME, I GUESS: A Florida man is so
distraught that his wife left him after 17 years of marriage that he
sent her five dozen roses. When that failed to win her back, he put a
full-page ad in The Florida Times-Union, vowing his "unending
love,'' and declaring, "Life without you is empty and
meaningless.'' I GOTTA SAY, I LIKE HER CHANCES: A Pennsylvania woman complained of sharp and persistent pain after an operation on her uterus, but her doctor told her it was normal. Two days later when she was urinating, a four-inch-long medical instrument fell out of her vagina. She is suing.
