Wordless Wednesday
A word of warning to anyone having an outdoor wedding this summer – guard the cake! If you don’t you might just end up with a little squirrel helping himself to the cake!
Snacks can be weapons too!
A man in Des Moines, Iowa, made an official complaint to police that his son assaulted him, leading to his son’s arrest on the charge of domestic assault.
The dirty details were revealed during the investigation. The mans son had been angry at him during an argument, and he chucked a bag of Cheetos in his direction. The bag hit the fathers glasses, causing them to bump up against his nose and cut him.
Other damage included Cheetos dust all over his shirt.
A new warning label will henceforth be placed on all Frito Lay products warning against use as a weapon.
This brings new meaning to the term Food Fight!
Police officer zapped for using his own Tazer
A police officer who demonstrated how his Taser worked by zapping a willing participant in the genitals got an official warning from his bosses.
Officer Randy Reynolds, Tenino Washington, fell under the watchful eye of his superiors when a video of the incident that occurred last Spring was posted on YouTube. Apparently the video clearly shows that the unidentified man wasn’t injured and onlookers can be heard laughing in the background.
Interim Police Chief Larry Dickerson has stated that Reynolds had been at a social gathering, but he was in uniform as he was on his way to work at the time. The unidentified man repeatedly asked Reynolds to use the weapon on him. Reynolds eventually obliged twice.
“He said he just wanted to know what it felt like. Randy didn’t want to do it at first, but the guy kept asking,†said Dickerson, who interviewed the man.
The Chief has said that no uniformed officer should demonstrate the use of a stun gun outside the line of duty except during training exercises.
“You don’t just go around doing your own demonstrations,†he said.
For his trouble Reynolds, 30, who’s been with the southwestern Washington towns police department since December 2005, will receive a formal reprimand in his personnel file and a warning not to misuse police equipment. He’ll also have to go over the departments taser policy and go over it with an instructor – again.
Is pregnancy contagious?
It’s an odd coincidence in Shreveport, LA hospital. Thirteen nurses from the new born intensive care unit are having babies.
An NICU nurse, Joyce Smith, who’s worked at the Christus Schumpert Sutton Children’s Medical Center for nearly 30 years says “they’re warning the staff there must be something in the water”.
The hospitals depart has of course had pregnant staff before, but never so many at one time. Two of the 13 women have already given birth, one is a new foster mom, and ten more are expecting.
Kerry Tynes, an Obstetrician says the pregnant nurses are keeping him on his toes.
Well good luck to the ladies. I hope that none of their children needs the services that the department they work in provides!
