These supposedly are true. True or not, they're good for a grin. -
A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for
his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find
a woman had taken the space.
Understandably, he shot her.
After stopping for a drink at a bar, a Zimbabwean bus
driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be
transporting
from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his
incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered
everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the
passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients
were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.
The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days. I like that one...
An American teenager was in the hospital yesterday
recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train.
When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was
simply
trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train
before he was hit.
When his 38-calibre revolver failed to fire at its intended
victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would be robber
James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder:
He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This
time it worked.
The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a
meat-cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a
claim to his insurance company. The company, suspecting negligence, sent out
one of its men to have a Look for himself. He tried the machine out and lost
a finger.
The chef's claim was approved.
Bonus extra .
A passenger in a taxi tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask
him something. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly
hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a
large plate glass window. For a few moments everything was silent in
the cab, then the driver said, "Please, don't ever do that again. You scared
the
daylights out of me." The passenger, who was also frightened, apologized
and said he didn't realize that a tap on the shoulder could frighten him so
much,
to which the driver replied: "I'm sorry, it's really not your
fault at all. Today is my first day driving a cab. I have been driving
a hearse for the last 25 years!
