Yikes, less than 2 months until Christmas!

1. On a mayor of an Oklahoma city personally distributing thousands of fliers discouraging underage drinking – and mistakenly putting the phone number for a sex talk line on the flyers:
“It is part of his ‘Lick-her, not Liquor' election campaign.”

2. On a truck that spilled two tons of pigs' heads on a road in western Germany:
“Drivers thought there was a political convention going on.”

3. On a German court that has ordered a self-proclaimed witch to refund a disappointed client her hefty fee for a spell that failed to win back the woman's partner:
“The court also awarded the lady two tons of pigs heads for her trouble.”

4. On a Pennsylvania truck dealership that is offering a unique incentive for people purchasing a vehicle - a free shotgun:
“That’s about as intelligent as free bat day at Yankee stadium.”

5. On a teenager who decided to get her breasts pierced for her 18th birthday now facing reconstructive surgery after a flesh-destroying infection forced doctors to remove her left breast:
“I think she finally realized that breast piercings might not be the ‘breast’ idea in the world.”

6. On a drunk Nevada man allowing his son to drive him home … his son is only 7-years old:
“More proof that legislation needs to be created to force people to get a license before producing offspring.”

7. On an attorney who was arrested for dressing like Osama Bin Laden and waving a gun at traffic:
“This guy gives idiots a bad name.”

8. On an Atlanta county that posted taxpayers' social-security numbers online not being able to remove them because of a law that forbids altering tax documents:
“Remember that whole civil war thingy that happened in the 1800’s … maybe a separate North and South wouldn’t be such a bad idea after all.”
