In my defense, at least I didn't take a wineglass from the housewares department.

Ahhhh,nothing says "sophisticated palate" quite like Wal-Mart wine!

You realize,of course,that it is now only a matter of time before someone starts posting "Walmartian videos"?

Guy Checks A Single Can Of Beer After Airline Told Him He Couldnâ€™t Board With It

Millions of passengers are constantly annoyed by airlinesâ€™ policies, and the rules are getting more absurd and unreasonable. They overcharge tickets, overbook flights, and are often inconsiderate towards their passengers.

Sometimes, an act of defiance is necessary to shake up authorities because these actions show them that itâ€™s unacceptable to mistreat their clients. Thatâ€™s probably what this passenger had in mind when he created a scene at a Melbourne airport.

Serial toilet clogger sentenced to 150 days in jail, 3 years of probation
Diana Dombrowski

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - A 26-year-old Wisconsin man was sentenced Monday to three years of probation for clogging women's toilets in Deland Park and at his place of work.

Patrick D. Beeman was originally charged with 12 misdemeanors of criminal damage to property, but seven of the charges were dismissed in early June.

As conditions of probation, Beeman will have to serve 150 days in jail, pay more than $5,500 in restitution, not be allowed to possess or consumer alcohol or any controlled substances, and complete 100 hours of community service. ...

According to a criminal complaint, officers found a toilet in the women's bathroom at Deland Community Center clogged by a plastic bottle last March. Water was overflowing from the toilet.

Officers had checked the restrooms the previous evening and the toilets were not damaged. Officers reviewed 10 similar incidents beginning in April 2017 where toilets were clogged. The city determined each incident caused about $200 in damage, the complaint said. ...

Mom: United put teen son on the wrong international flight
Associated Press | Tuesday, July 2, 2019 7:53 a.m.

RALEIGH, N.C. â€” A North Carolina woman says United Airlines put her teenage son on the wrong international flight, nearly sending him to Germany instead of Sweden.

Christer Berg tells WRAL-TV that her 14-year-old son was traveling alone to visit his grandparents and realized something was wrong as the plane prepared for takeoff. She says her son texted her from the runway that it was odd a flight to Sweden was filled with so many people who spoke German. ...

Seems to me Mom is at least as culpable. The flight number and destination are clearly indicated at the gate.

I watched that presser. He was doing the finger pointing thing when he said "I did not have sex with that woman." (Pointing at Helen Thomas), then after that little pause, he said "Monica Lewinsky", which came off as a non-sequitur more than a denial of having sex with her.

After conducting a traffic stop, police said the driver, 49-year-old Jennifer Yeager, told them that she drove into town to inflate the pool at a friend's house and had her two daughters ride inside the empty pool to hold it down on the drive home...

Posted Jul 09 2019 04:34PM CDT
Updated Jul 09 2019 06:23PM CDT

CLAY COUNTY, Mo. (FOX 9) - When tracking down a suspect, law enforcement might use a K-9 to track down a scent.

This was not necessary for a recent arrest in Missouri.

According to the Clay County Sheriff's Office, over the weekend, Liberty police were searching for a person who a felony warrant for arrest. The person was wanted for possession of a controlled substance.

The suspect hid to avoid police, but apparently let out a fart so loudly, it gave up their hiding spot.

"Weâ€™ve gotta give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out!" read a Facebook comment from the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
