Coffin Purchases are apparently a big tip off

You’d think most police officers would have an idea when eight people are murdered, but apparently the Columbian Police were unaware of some suspicious murders until the victims relatives decided to purchase coffins for the burial of their murdered relatives.

The province in Columbia, near Ecuador, in which the coffins were purchased is a key Cocaine production area. Leftist rebels and drug gangs frequently fight over smuggling routes in the area.

Now that the police have become suspicious about the deaths of eight people they are investigating the case. Police said the murders appeared to be part of a robbery where one trafficking group stole a large amount of coca base from another group and used it to make cocaine.

Man way over limit fights with gas pump

Recently police in Madison, Wis., said Milo G. Chamberlain’s blood-alcohol content was .425, which experts said usually is attainable only by those either dead or in a coma.

But he was picked up, quite conscious, allegedly causing a disturbance at a gas station, where he reportedly got into a fight with a gas pump before being restrained by passers-by.

Well you know he was out of it if he was fighting with a gas pump! Even if he really should have been in a coma with that blood alcohol level!

Oops! They were the wrong size

Department store assistants in the Hainan province of China were surprised to discover that a pair of trousers that had been stolen on Sunday reappeared when they took stock Monday evening, though another pair of trousers in another size were missing.

Authorities suspect that a thief stole a pair of trousers from the store but later found that they didn’t fit him, and then proceeded to return to the department store and switch them with a second pair.

Though no arrests have been made, police suspect a man in his 30s who had “tried on many trousers in their store in the past two days, but failed to buy any.” Currently an investigation is underway.

That thief has guts – steal the pants once, return them and steal yet another pair? I guess he really wanted that style.

People you don’t want working for you

Here’s a few accident prone people that you wouldn’t want working on your property:

- Inspecting the Dukovany nuclear power plant in Moravia in September, an unnamed American official with the International Atomic Energy Agency wandered away from the group and fell into a water tank. I hope that water wasn’t tainted!

- In September, firefighters in Spokane, Wash., rescued a worker whose head had become stuck in a water meter enclosure for about four hours. How does one get their head stuck in a water meter enclosure?

- In October, when Turkey’s prime minister Tayyip Erdogan fainted from low blood sugar, his security team rushed him to a hospital but mistakenly locked him and the keys inside his fortified car; after they pounded on it for a while, a nearby construction worker with a sledgehammer saved the day. That could have been a life and death situation for the Prime Minister. I think he needs a new security team- don’t you?
