Greetings fellow Bizarros:
When you stand a row of dominoes on end and tip them over,
you know where the last domino will fall. However in life,
when you start tipping over dominoes the end result is
rarely what you expect.
Take the blizzard in New York a couple weeks ago. It dumped
over twenty inches of snow on the city. Then streets and
sanitation crews took the opportunity to stage a work
slow down in order to protest budget cuts. Because of the
resulting impassible streets, trash wasn't collected for
weeks.
The mountains of garbage piled in the street would have
meant a lot less to one man if it weren't for the fact that
one such mountain was piled right underneath his ninth
floor apartment window...the window he jumped out of in an
attempt to commit suicide!
Authorities say the man was saved by the heap of trash bags.
The 26-year-old was taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan
after the attempt where was listed in critical but stable
condition.
His aunt said it was lucky the city had the snow and hadn't
cleared the garbage.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

----------- Wife reports bank-robbing husband -----------
BRADENTON, Fla. - Florida police said they arrested a
bank robbery suspect after his wife recognized his face
in a surveillance photo on the news and reported him. The
Manatee County Sheriff's Office said Troy Sandifar, 45,
allegedly robbed a First Bank branch of an unspecified
amount of money at about 10:50 a.m. EST Tuesday and
authorities received a call at about 6:30 p.m. from Afra
Sandifar, who recognized her husband's face from a survei-
llance camera video broadcast on the evening news, the

Troy Sandifar fled the apartment with the cash from the
robbery and his vehicle was stopped by authorities. How-
ever, he refused commands to exit the vehicle and was
spotted swallowing what appeared to be a large amount of
rock cocaine. Sandifar was arrested after a brief struggle
and taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital where he was treat-
ed for ingestion of drugs. Deputies said he made a full
confession while being interviewed at the hospital. The
suspect was transferred to the Manatee County Jail and

Re: the person who tried to get rid of bees, there was a
man in our city several years ago who tried to rid his
house of mice with a fire which burned the house down.
[Got rid of the mice though, didn't it?]
You did great as usual, especially the story about the
stolen ATM, hillarious but no readers comments? Look
forward to those. -cheryl
Uh, c'mon, Lewis ? fled away? Meandered or sauntered away,
but fled? Seriously! -Rick
Lewis, did you see this one? "A Waseca, Minn. man is facing
up to 13 years in prison for modifying a sex toy into an
explosive device in order to "blow up" former female room-
mates after being kicked out of the residence. Lester left
the premises, but left several bags of property behind.
The two remaining females looked through his belongings and
found a vibrator that had been loaded with gun powder, bb
shot, buck shot and was apparently wired to a battery port
in order for it to explode. It was found by the females
inside of a coffee can labeled 'Christmas Gifts.'"
[It's a good thing that plot was foiled or she wouldn't have
known if she were coming or going!]
