I think the following story could only happen in Canada (ok maybe Germany as well). Naturally it involves beer – our favorite beverage!
Usually when a plane makes an unscheduled stop it’s because there’s a fire onboard, it has engine trouble or there’s some kind of medical emergency … but not in Canada! Nope! A beer theft on board an Air Canada Jazz flight on Tuesday caused the plane to divert.
Even the Mounties got involved!
Steve Holmes, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable told AFP that a passenger had stolen beer from a beverage cart and then tried to flush the empty cans down the jet’s toilet in order to dispose of the evidence. (Yeah like him wobbling around the craft drunk wouldn’t be noticed!)
The flight from Vancouver to Fort McMurray, Alberta was diverted to Kelowna, British Columbia, and police arrested the 23-year-old suds thief.
The man now faces charges of causing a disturbance on an aircraft, Holmes said.
Well folks, now you know what will happen if you steal booze on a Canadian flight!

21 year old Antonio Vasquez was recently released from Fresno County Jail after prosecutors said they didn’t have enough evidence to file criminal charges.
He was briefly held in jail as a suspect after two California Farm workers had their home broken into and were attacked by a man. The suspect was said to have rubbed spices into the face of one man and had smacked the other with an 8 inch sausage!
Definitely a strange assault!
Sheriff’s Lt. Ian Burrimond says Vasquez was found hiding in a field wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks after the Saturday morning attack. Vasquez is also accused of stealing $900 from the home.

I’m so blue, no one is renting me a space.
Sour Dough
The Kuwait Times reported in April that food inspectors shut down the Hawally bakery in Kuwait City after finding dough stored in a toilet, which the owner explained was so that the humidity would keep it moist.
Red Light Cheater
Caught by police with illegal emergency lights on his car, Bradenton, Fla., restaurant manager Kenneth Holmes, 26, said at his February sentencing for impersonating a police officer that he did it “to get home quicker” and that the flashers were “cool” and a “fantastic time-saver” that enabled him to drive through red lights.
Long Exorcism
In March, David Little, a Fredericton, New Brunswick, anti-abortion activist who was resisting his upcoming trial on tax-evasion charges, told the judge that he would need an indefinite postponement because his wife and stepdaughter were possessed by Satan and required exorcism. Little, 60, told the judge that some exorcisms work quickly, but that he knows of one that has lasted 16 years. The judge told Little to bring in some evidence of the possession. (Little has openly refused to pay taxes because some government money funds abortions.)
