Driving a Horse

Boobs on a horse:
Officer John Seals found Melissa Byrum York, 40, of Henagar on horseback on a nearby road and attempted to stop her. Seals asked the woman repeatedly to get off the horse, but she kept trying to kick the animal to make it run, the chief said.

"She wouldn't stop. She kept riding the horse and going on," Gregg said.

After ramming the police car with the horse and riding away, the woman tried to jump off but caught her foot in a stirrup, Gregg said. The officer took the woman into custody and discovered that she had crystal methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana, pills and a small pipe, the chief said.

York was charged with DUI for allegedly riding the horse under the influence of a controlled substance. She was also charged with drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, assault, attempting to elude police and cruelty to animals.

Gregg said the horse, which belonged to York, "wasn't in the best of health, but it's still alive."

Gin and Tonic and a Steak

Boobs and a steak
The gin and tonic bandit went to the same restaurant each Wednesday, ordered two drinks and a rib-eye steak, then skipped out on his $25.96 bill... Each Wednesday night for four weeks running, the same man came into the same O'Charley's restaurant and ordered the two drinks and the steak, restaurant manager Teresa Tolbert told police.

At the end of each meal, the wait staff would present him with his bill for $25.96, and he would excuse himself to use the restroom, then skip out without paying.

The man appeared a fifth time Wednesday night, but the restaurant was ready for him, police said.

When his server presented the bill, he again claimed he needed to use the bathroom. But when he walked out of the restaurant, four employees were waiting for him. They confronted him about the unpaid bill, which he offered to pay with a check, police said.

After Tolbert told him the restaurant didn't accept checks, the man "got nervous and ran," according to the police report.

Officer Randy Gehlhausen caught up with the man as he was trying to open his car door. The diner struggled with Gehlhausen, who wrestled him to the ground and handcuffed him.

That's a whole lot of underwear

Boobs and panties:

A man was charged with theft and burglary after police said they found 93 pounds of women’s panties, brassieres and other underwear at his home. Investigators believe Garth M. Flaherty, 24, took as many as 1,500 undergarments from apartment complex laundry rooms before he was caught, police Cmdr. Chris Tennant said... Police found enough underwear in his bedroom to fill five garbage bags, Tennant said. “He said he had a problem,” Tennant said.

He had a problem? What, he was out of bags?

He'd kill to have sex... really, he would

Boobs and dead animals:
A 20-year-old man received probation after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer. The sentence also requires Bryan James Hathaway to be evaluated as a sex offender and treated at the Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health in Duluth, Minn... He was found guilty in April 2005 of felony mistreatment of an animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail and two years of extended supervision on that charge as well as six years of probation for taking and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent.
The guy killed a horse to have sex with it and they sent him to prison? Like that is going to help? I don't know who the bigger boobs are, this sick bastard or the people who didn't send him to a mental institution in the first place.

And now, because of their stupidity there's probably a little Bambi somewhere without its mommy. (awwwww... *tear, tear*)

A Cup of Urine

Boobs and a cup of urine:
An eighth-grader faces expulsion after admitting he put urine in a teacher's coffee pot, officials said. The Wilson Middle School teacher noticed that the coffee had an unusual odor Friday and reported it to the principal, Muncie Community Schools officials said. A student who overheard classmates discussing it also reported the incident to officials... Urine was found in the locker of the eighth-grade boy, who admitted to putting some in the coffee, authorities said.
With pranks like this, this kid has a future working for the RNC during elections.

Stinking Champion

Boobs and stinking sneakers:
Thirteen-year-old Katharine Tuck's sneakers are equal opportunity offenders. They smell as bad as they look. Now, the Utah seventh grader is $2,500 richer because of it: On Tuesday, she out-ranked six other children to win the 32nd annual National Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest, stinking up the joint with a pair of well-worn 1 1/2-year-old Nikes so noxious they had the judges wincing... "I'm so proud of the little stinker," said her mother, Paula Tuck.
Doesn't it bring tears to your eyes to see a mom so proud of her daughter?

No Celery At Chelsea Soccer Matches

Chelsea boobs and celery
LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea warned their fans on Friday against throwing celery during matches, saying it was a criminal offence and that anyone caught lobbing the popular salad vegetable could be banned... Though apparently a growing problem with it landing on the pitch, Chelsea fans have been throwing celery among themselves, and singing an unprintable song about the vegetable, for more than two decades.
Ah well, you know I had to find the "unprintable song". Here it goes:

Celery, Celery,
If she don't come,
I'll tickle her bum,
With a lump of celery...

If she doesn't want to come (to the soccer game), she's going to get tickled. What's unprintable about that?

Sticky Situation

Boobs and sticky stuff
A 91-year-old German man was rescued Tuesday from a sticky situation.

The retiree from the eastern city of Magdeburg had been taking advantage of good spring weather to re-tar the roof of his garden house when he slipped and became glued to the structure himself.

Rescuers were able to free the man, whose name was not released, by prying him loose - bit by bit - from the gooey mess.
"Good spring weather"... another victim of global warming.

How Did They Find Him So Easily?

Boobs commiting crimes
Authorities in Iowa say a burglar left a calling card behind when he broke into an apartment.

They found a Corrections Department identification card they think the burglar used to jimmy a lock.

That led them to a former inmate, who was arrested at a Bettendorf motel. He'd been released from prison in January after serving a little over two years for burglary.
This guy must be a Republican. How do I know? Because Democratic felons want to vote; Republican ones want to keep stealing. Duh!

Imposter sits in on defense meetings

Boobs in Australian uniforms:
CANBERRA (Reuters) - A truck driver who was once jailed for armed robbery posed as an army officer, mixed with the top brass and talked his way into high-level security meetings... Peter Bennett, 54, started his 10-month fantasy military career in September 2005 when he wore formal military dress to gain entry to an air force base dinner, where he chatted to Australia's air force chief, Air Vice-Marshal Geoffrey Shepherd... and was issued with a defense force identity card. "To his boot straps, he was simply a cheeky civilian with a good tailor and a foot locker brimming with confidence that enabled him to parachute behind friendly lines,"... Bennett had tried to join the army in 1971, but was rejected as medically unfit to serve.
They should hire this guy, for something, anything. In the USA he'd probably become the spokesperson for the White House.

Bank robber nabbed 30 feet from bank

Boobs robbing a bank

The thief had the bank-robbing part down, putting his finger in his pocket to simulate a gun at a northeast Nevada bank on Tuesday. It was the getaway that proved a bit more difficult.

Woodall was in possession of the money when he was apprehended and no weapon was found... he told one officer, "I just wanted to go back to jail."

End of long-winded eulogies

Boobs and dead Aussies:
Keep it short, and don't mention sex or drunkenness -- those are the new rules for eulogies at funeral masses in Australia's Catholic church. An increase in the number of inappropriate comments at funeral masses has prompted Australia's most senior Catholic, Cardinal George Pell, to impose a five-minute deadline on eulogies and deem some areas of a person's life off limits... On not a few occasions, inappropriate remarks glossing over the deceased's proclivities (drinking prowess, romantic conquests etc) or about the Church (attacking its moral teachings) have been made at funeral masses," Pell's new guidelines say... The new guidelines say anecdotes, poems or songs, might be better kept for services at the cemetery or crematorium, or for a vigil prayer service the night before a funeral.

Surgeons Step Outside

Boobs in the operating room:
A routine appendix operation in Belgrade went badly wrong when two surgeons started fighting and stormed from the operating theater to settle their dispute outside... Surgeon Spasoje Radulovic was operating when his colleague Dragan Vukanic entered and made a remark that started a quarrel, said the anesthesiologist on duty. "At one moment Vukanic pulled the ear of the operating doctor, slapped him in the face and walked out," she said. Radulovic followed and an all-out fight ensued, resulting in bruises, a split lip, loose teeth and a fractured finger. The operation was completed successfully by the attending assistant doctor.

Sex on the fast lane

Boobs on the highway
Israeli police investigating why a car was blocking traffic in the fast lane of a major highway Sunday found a couple inside having sex. A police spokesman said the female driver and her male passenger gave in to their passions without pulling over to the side of the road, causing congestion and leaving other motorists having to swerve to dodge their stationary vehicle. A patrolman gave the woman a ticket for holding up traffic.

Boa Eats Her Husband

Boobs and a boa:
Maria Estela Lima... said a 10-yard-long (10-meter-long) snake had grabbed her husband from a boat on the Paraguay river, and wrapped him up before swallowing him. She said two local men killed the boa to remove her husband's remains, and she asked the community for help to maintain her three small children. The story spread quickly and was on the front covers of Paraguay's newspapers, but Pedro Palacio, a state prosecutor who looked into the case told reporters the husband had been found in perfect health working on a ranch. Palacio said Lima made up the story to get attention and because she felt abandoned.

The Courtroom can be a drag

Boobs in the courtroom:

A male lawyer who appeared in court dressed in women's clothes as a protest against what he said was New Zealand's overly masculine judiciary was suspended Wednesday after being found to be in contempt of court... The High Court found Rob Moodie, a 68-year-old, balding man who appeared in court in dresses and toting a handbag, was in contempt for circulating suppressed documents outside the court in one of his cases. Moodie officially changed his name to "Miss Alice" as part of his protest against the "old boys network" that he said runs the nation's judiciary.

Students charged for snow-day hoax

Boobs and a snow day:
Two teenage girls posted a fake announcement on their school district's Web site that said school was closed for the day due to winter weather, police said. The notice, posted Monday, confused many parents — snow was not in the forecast — and persuaded some students to stay home... The company that runs the Web site, RCH Networks Inc., said the system was not hacked into because no security breach was detected. Administrators say the girls must have somehow gotten the password. RCH helped the district track down the girls by supplying the identification numbers from computers that accessed the system, which authorities could then track to the girls' homes.

OK, these two teens are boobs but what about the parents who were confused? Yeah, bigger boobs!

Oh, and a notice to John Edwards: do not hire these girls. Please don't!

Hot, sexy, monkeys

Boobs at the zoo:
TAMPA, Fla. - Genevieve Chandler has been visiting the Lowry Park Zoo since she was a kid, but the tour she got the other night was definitely not the G-rated fare of her childhood. Among the things Chandler, 30, and her date learned on their "Wild at Heart" zoo tour: Male pigs have a unique corkscrew endowment and impressive, um, output; manatees have orgies and don't really care if their partners are male or female; and a male porcupine has only one four-hour window a year to mate - very carefully, of course. Valentine's Day is the time of year when zoos around the nation seek to woo a new adult audience with risque tours that couple champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and candlelight dining with impressive facts about how animals do the wild thing.

Teen gets frostbite

Boobs on ice
A teenager who wanted to continue the family tradition of running around the garden barefoot during halftime of the Super Bowl game has learned a painful lesson. It was 17 below zero at halftime Sunday in this city about 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis, and D.J. Brown's dad said it was too cold to continue the tradition. But the 18-year-old senior at Buffalo High School ran outside in his T-shirt and jeans, threw off his socks and shoes, and ran around the block... Brown said he was outside only five minutes, but his feet started swelling and blistering when he got back inside. The pain was excruciating... He was treated for second-degree frostbite on both feet at the burn center.

Boobs and animal feces
CHESHIRE TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Health officials have condemned a feces-filled and urine-soaked mobile home inhabited by a 68-year-old woman, her 22-year-old daughter and their 66 cats and dogs... The floors and furniture inside the doublewide trailer were covered with up to three inches of animal waste, animal rescue volunteers said... The mother and daughter became used to having their clothing, especially the lower parts of their pants, covered in feces. The women shared a bed, also covered with animal waste, and protected themselves from the filth by wearing heavy jackets and pants at night, deputies said.

Beer for your best friend

Boobs and beer:
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Terrie Berenden, a pet shop owner in the southern Dutch town of Zelhem, created a beer for her Weimaraners made from beef extract and malt. "Once a year we go to Austria to hunt with our dogs, and at the end of the day we sit on the verandah and drink a beer. So we thought, my dog also has earned it," she said. Berenden consigned a local brewery to make and bottle the nonalcoholic beer, branded as Kwispelbier. It was introduced to the market last week and advertised it as "a beer for your best friend."

Get some of Blizzard I and Blizzard II

Boobs with lots of snow:
Call it a winter sale. Jim and Mary Walker are selling snow on eBay. Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for samples from "Blizzard I and Blizzard II."... "I figured eBay has ghosts and all sorts of weird stuff, so why not snow?" said Mary Walker... How much snow 99 cents or whatever the winning bid gets depends. Walker's auction notice suggests avoiding shipping and handling charges by stopping by their home and picking it up - in a dump truck... She says she doesn't really expect to find a buyer for their blizzard overstock. "We just wanted to just give some folks a laugh," she said.

Helpful drunk gets in trouble

Boobs with alcohol:
German police arrested a man for drunk driving after he mistook a police spot check for a breakdown and stopped to help. Officers inspecting a car by the roadside suspected the 37-year-old passing motorist was under the influence of alcohol when he lurched from his vehicle to offer assistance... "Obviously his optical assessment of the situation as he drove past was that this was a vehicle breakdown," the police said in a statement. The man was arrested and banned from driving.

Flatulence Allegedly Sparks Jail Fight

Boobs, gas, and prison

NORTH PLATTE (AP)— Brian Bruggeman caused a stink at the Lincoln County Jail earlier this month and will now have to answer for it in court. Another inmate, Jesse Dorris, alleges that Bruggeman's flatulence, passed in close proximity to Dorris, sparked a Dec. 14 fight between the two at the jail... The two began scuffling... because Dorris was fed up with Bruggeman's flatulence... Sheriff Jerome Kramer said... "You just can't get a reprieve from one another... When you've got a guy causing problems passing gas, there's no way to get away from the smell."

Being naugthy

Boobs and Christmas

NEW YORK - There's nobody nice on this Christmas list:

David Allen Rodgers, 42, was arrested Dec. 3 for driving while intoxicated - at the wheel of a float during the annual Christmas parade in Anderson, S.C. According to witnesses, Rodgers sped down Main Street in the Steppin' Out Dance Studio float with 19 people aboard, ran a red light and led police on a 3-mile chase.

In Chicago, 32 plastic baby Jesus dolls were stolen from nativity scenes set up in people's front yards. The kidnappers then lined up all the dolls along the fence outside a Chicago woman's home; she rounded them up and turned them over to her parish priest.

In Houghton, Mich., somebody stole an inflatable Grinch from outside an apartment complex. That was just one instance in the area's rash of seasonal thievery: Two brown plastic reindeer, a baby Jesus statue and several wreaths were also stolen.

In Ohio's Hamilton County, a pair of 18-year-olds were arrested for using screwdrivers to stab an inflatable 12-foot-tall Frosty the Snowman. "Why me?" asked Frosty's owner, Matt Williquette. "And why Frosty?" The snowman had survived two previous stabbing attacks.

An Oklahoma woman was arrested after she visited the Delaware County Jail with a Christmas card for her incarcerated boyfriend. Police said the card held marijuana, leading to Dawn Smith's arrest.

A motorcycle-riding Santa Claus with a stuffed Rudolph in his sidecar was arrested after allegedly grabbing an 8-year-old girl from outside a South Carolina convenience store. John Michael Barton, 55, was in his Claus outfit filling his bike with gas when the girl's family stopped by the store. The girl's father then saw Barton speeding off with her. After a chase at speeds of up to 80 mph, Barton pulled over his motorcycle and turned over the girl, police said. Barton was arrested later, hiding inside a bar.

Teacher Suspended Over His Paintings

Boobs in school
Stephen Murmer's secret career as an artist has caught up with him. Murmer, a popular high school art teacher, was suspended after objections were raised about his private abstract artwork, much of which includes smearing his posterior and genitals with paint and pressing them against canvas... Murmer went to great lengths to keep his work life separate from his activities as an artist, said ACLU executive director Kent Willis. As an artist, he goes by the name "Stan Murmur," and appears in disguise in photographs and videos promoting his art... In response to questions about his disguise, Murmer said: "I do have a real job where I do have real clients and I don't think they'd be too understanding if I was also the guy who painted with my ass."

Owning a piece of Murmer's art doesn't come cheap. On his Web site, his
creations run upward of $900. His most popular piece, "Tulip Butts," goes for
$600. Butt Print Art: http://buttprintart.com/

In this story you get to make up your mind who the boobs are: the art teacher or those who suspended him.
