May 29, 2005 CRAZY OLD COOT? WHY WOULD THEY SAY THAT? After a pizza parlor
refused to deliver to her apartment, an old woman called the 911 police
emergency line 20 times in a half-hour to demand that the pizza
employees be arrested. The North Carolina woman, age 86, also complained
that they called her a "crazy old coot.'' IT'S THE ONE THEY USE FOR JUMBO: Doctors at a New York hospital told a 400-pound woman she was too large for their X-ray machine, and sent her to the Bronx Zoo to use theirs. She was outraged. SLIP SLIDIN' AWAY: A man tried to abduct a female jogger from a park restroom in Fountain Valley, Calif., but she had slathered so much suntan oil on herself she managed to slip out of his grasp. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO CLOWN COLLEGE: A woman who was driving the 60 miles from Glendora to Palmdale, Calif., crammed her car full of people. Including herself and another adult in the front with a child on her lap, she had nine people in the car, four children in the back seat and two other children in the trunk. She was arrested. HE LIKED THE AREA: A man tried to rob the clerk at a motel in Charleston, W. Va., but fled when he was refused money. He was arrested a short time later trying to check into a nearby hotel.
