Frankly, My Dear…

Did you hear about the couple on a cruise who fell from their balcony while “playing Titanic”? He was lifting her up and she went overboard and he went in after her! I bet alcohol was involved! I cannot even imagine falling off a big ship into the Gulf of Mexico–at night! Someone must’ve seen it because the cruise ship turned around and after 4-5 hours of searching–while they were treading water and available for any sharks in the area–found them! They were not even together! And VERY lucky to have been found!

Be on the look-out for Joe Francis! He’s a fugitive! Failed to appear in court! Excuse me, it’s hard to type and bend over double with laughter at the same time! HAHAHAHA Could it happen to a more deserving sleazebag? His amount to pay the girls who sued him has already been increased! heh There’s got to be a play on Girls Gone Wild somewhere in there!

UPDATE: Francis is in custody in FL. Heck, I was hoping to see him on America’s Most Wanted!

Did you see the guy who climbed about 60′ up a tree to catch his pet cockatoo? He said the bird slept with him and was potty-trained. (I wonder how you do that?) So he just hugged the tree and went up to where it was. Problem was, he couldn’t get down once he had the bird! Two different helicopters tried to get him down before one was successful! It was said that he planned to clip the bird’s wings once he got home! That might be a good idea! I wonder if he got a bill for the helicopters?

Last, but not least:
You’ve most likely heard about the volunteer fireman who was suppose to be on his way to a contest but stopped off at a park and put on a display that scared someone enough to call the cops! Do you think he knows he will NEVER live this down??! Never!

The 3 college boys who burned several rural churches last year have been sentenced to 7-8 years in prison and a combined restitution of 3.1 million dollars. Russell DeBusk, 20, will serve 7 years and Matthew Cloyd, 21, and Benjamin Moseley, 20, will both serve 8 years. The diference in time is because the two decided to set more fires in a different area to throw investigators off their tracks. Obviously that didn’t work! They faced a minimum of 7 years because 2 firefighters were injured at one of the churches.

Some of the churches offered forgiveness and the 3 accused apologized before the sentencing. Evidently, they were spotlighting deers and unable to find any, decided to set fires instead. Had they not been drinking, common sense might’ve convinced them that that was not a good idea! Hard to imagine being that young–or any age–and faced with repaying millions of dollars! Really sad all the way around.

Troy, at Bouhammer’s Afghan Blog has posted a video of the party the Afghan soldiers they’ve been working with gave them, as they prepare to come home. Some of the Americans showed up in native dress to the delight of the Afghans! Troy also included a video of the Afghans dancing! Go see!
