Weird News Thread Part III

Which to judge from my experience in Indiana, is quite a few. The police in Illinois pretty much let us drive on the expressways. Flow of traffic is 75-80 even in the Chicago area (if traffic permits), and 85+ for the fast drivers. I rarely see anybody pulled over and I have not received a speeding ticket in my 25 years in the area, except once on Lake Shore Drive, which has a trap/scam.

There's a few but not too many THAT dumb. TBH they pretty much knew who it was to start with.

 

I'd say we're probably about the same for first section and maybe slightly ahead for the second but that's mainly because we probably get to drink a lot younger.

But, frankly, both of us are WAY behind some of the eastern Europeans who are almost in a class of their own. Google 'Polish Toughness 'Contest' and see what comes up.

Didn't The Daily Show have a skit about Russia with the byline 'Don't be a pussy' recently?

Edit: I can't play this from 'my location' coz of Comedy Central's restrictions... FASCISTS! But I think it's the one.

Yeah, especially over the last 10 years, there are dozens. If you're local, they're not too hard to avoid. We have packs of laser wielding motorcycles, Chargers, Mustangs, all the Panther platform vehicles, Tahoes, Impalas, F-150s, Tauruses, and Explorers (any of which can be any color and completely unmarked) roving Indianapolis. I haven't had a ticket in over a decade, but I've somehow received at least 20 warnings over the years. Sometimes it's nice being white.

 

Suite Filed Over Stripper at Nursing Home
Why do I think that all the shame and anger is on the part of the son who actually filed the suit and who is probably grossed out by the thought of his mother having thoughts like that. As I learned with my father, dementia does not tend to make people more sexually inhibited but just the opposite.

 

ROFL. Reminds me of a guy at school who got caught with a porn stash under his bed by his enraged dad. To try and get out of an ass-whooping, he said his friends forced him to bring it home and store it there for them.

His mates were perplexed to be hauled in front of the headmaster and interrogated the next day for bullying. Turns out the guys dumbass father believed his son and made a complaint. It was hilarious.

 

OK fine, if you're broadening the discussion, then Russians have gotta win -

I liked the bit that said...

A deputy reviewed security footage to see the last person in the elevator. The investigator spotted a woman in black-and-white, zebra-stripe pants...​

She looks like she's probably quite a large lady too. Should have been arrested for crimes against fashion as well

 

You think the jails here are full already? That would double them - at least.

The judge didn't dismiss the charges.

It's important to keep in mind that the average Russian drinks about the same quantity of vodka each day as the average white collar worker in American drinks coffee. I think that might have something to do with those pictures.

A Prius would have been funnier to me. Hummer pretty cool too.

Is that because he parked in front of the fire hydrant?

If so....

 

Haha yup, and he got $100 fine to top it off!

I talked to a fire chief once a few years ago who said they live to bust through people's side windows like that, and he mentioned he got to do it to a volvo once with great joy.
He said they really only need 3 feet to work, so if two cars parked at the fire hydrant with a foot and a half each to spare, they would be fine, but when an asshole parks right in front, well they deserve what they get.
He said sometimes they'll waste some extra money trying to sue the fire dept, but they get eaten up in court when they try.

 

They should probably be allowed to bust car windows out of such cars even if there is not a fire.

 

My car once was parked next to a building that blew up. The explosion not only blew out all the windows in my car, and caved in the side, but then the cops towed my car several blocks away (this was a congested area, no free parking spaces) and deposited it in another street. I learned at that time of the difficulty of conducting a search for something within a 6-block radius. Six blocks in all directions is a lot of territory to cover in a search.

Oh and since the building didn't have enough insurance to cover damages, and the owner was now dead, I got no money from nobody.
