I am a limo driver and this Judi once, was totally impressed
with the  bar, the interior lights, the mirrored ceiling --
everything in the stretch-limo.  Then she noticed the TV. 
There was a show  she really wanted to see that evening and
asked me in all  seriousness: 'the TV *does* get cable, right?'

Seems this Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that
   he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab
   some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over
   his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the
   would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. Seems the liquor
   store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on
   videotape.


  

Representative Tim Moore sponsored a resolution in the Texas House of Representatives in 
Austin, Texas calling on the House to commend Albert de Salvo for his unselfish service to 
"his country, his state and his community." 

The resolution stated that "this compassionate gentleman's dedication and devotion to his work 
has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout the nation to achieve and maintain a new degree 
of concern for their future. He has been officially recognized by the state of Massachusetts 
for his noted activities and unconventional techniques involving population control and applied
psychology." 

The resolution was passed unanimously. 

Representative Moore then revealed that he had only tabled the motion to show how the 
legislature passes bills and resolutions often without reading them or understanding what 
they say. Albert de Salvo was the Boston Strangler.
